For years, a staple tool I have relied on is a clipboard manager to keep tabs on reusable text snippets. The Linux desktop has several noteworthy clipboard managers. Some are much handier than others for working with parcels of text that I can easily swap from a clipping queue to a document or Web page form. Anyone who works constantly with bulk text needs a reusable copy-and-paste buffer to store multiple snippets of text. A weakness in the Linux desktop makes a clipboard manager a necessary add-on tool.
