Google Docs gets its own clipboard for copy'n'pasting lolz

Google continues to ramp up the set on its online Google Docs service, with the latest addition being an extended web clipboard floating about in the cloud.

The web clipboard lets you store any text cut or copied ‘in the cloud’ and then paste it into another Google Docs document, with all the original formatting remaining intact.

To get copyin’, cuttin’ and a-pastin’, you can forget all about your keyboard shortcuts – instead, you have to use the clipboard button on the taskbar, which lets you copy the selection to Google’s ‘server clipboard.’
