		salgernon on May 15, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: OS X Command Line Utilities pbpaste and pbcopy can specify multiple clipboards; one very handy thing I do is "cmd-a" "cmd-c" (copy all) double click on a word I'm looking for, "cmd-e" to enter it into the find clipboard 'pbpaste \| fgrep --color `pbpaste -pboard find`' I have that aliased as 'pbg'.

Aaaaand I just learned about Cmd-E and Cmd-J. Love all the little useful shortcuts OSX has. :)
