When you place your mouse over the word paste, a list of recently copied words should show up.

Yes but this should not be restricted to one programme and it is not very difficult to avoid that problem.

This is definitely baked in a less annoying way than what [zen_tom] described - a little freeware utility on my old mac. You could access a "clipboard" of recently copied words via paste-special or a similar command. I seem to recall it worked system-wide... will look up full info later.

It was called CopyPaste, and it was invaluable

c't activAid (freeware software package) includes a feature with mutliple clipboards, very helpful, and not annoying with popups
