In IntelliJ IDEA, is it possible to have multiple items in your clipboard and choose which item to paste? What are the keyboard shortcuts?

On Windows, use CtrlShiftV and on Mac use āŒ˜ShiftV to see your clipboard history.

Change Stored History Size

Click ShiftShift, type Maximum number of contents to keep in clipboard, and then edit the value in the dialog.

To manually find the setting, open: Preferences -> Editor -> General and then in the Limits section of the main General page, increase Maximum number of contents to keep in clipboard. I changed mine to 50.

Alternatively, copy and paste multiple lines at once

You can select adjacent line content, random line/positions etc. with multi-caret selection.
