This menu provides an access to the Extended Clipboards. These clipboards can be used within TED Notepad the same way, as the standard clipboard from Windows can be.

The content of these Extended Clipboards is usually saved between sessions, therefore it persists even through computer restarts. This way the Extended Clipboards can be easily pre-configured and then used later to quikly paste frequent phrases and/or code snippets.

There are Alt+# hotkeys to copy the selection into the [[Control:Feature:#th Extended Clipboard|#th Extended Clipboard]] and then Ctrl+# hotkeys to paste the content from the [[Control:Feature:#th Extended Clipboard|#th Extended Clipboard]] back to the document.

Note: The content of these Extended Clipboards is saved with other settings, when TED Notepad quits, but it is not shared with other applications. Therefore, even with two instances of TED Notepad running concurrently, they each opperate with a different set of these Extended Clipboards.

Note: If saving of the content of the Extended Clipboards is turned off in settings; or the /ns command line parameter is used; or the Exit without saving! is used; their content is not saved at all, and will not persist the session. See chapters Command line parameters and File menu.
