The problem isn't so much in the doing, but rather in the metaphor and UI. How does the program know what belongs in the list? How do you easily retrieve something from the list? |

Wasn't some Apple system (maybe the Newton) supposed to be organized like this, where everything you entered went into some kind of electronic soup? This is a commonly enunciated cyber-goal, whereby everything you do with a computer is automatically catalogued for you for some kind of ready retrieval. But what phoenix said. |

There are a number of shareware/freeware clipboard enhancements that can do most of this. Basically they keep a arbitrary depth stack of the recent contents of the system clipboard, and give you a UI to access it easily. But of course you have to remember to actually copy each item in, so its not as automatic as what you describe. |

Along the same lines, a constant annoyance for me is the fact that Windows maintains a separate "current directory" for each running application. Often I'm using three or more applications to do different parts of the same task, and I end up having to navigate to the same directory umpteen times. |
