Can you increase the paste buffer size in IntelliJ IDEA

Question

Yes

Go to:

File > Settings > Editor > Limits > Maximum number of contents to keep in clipboard

…and change the number.

Update for IntelliJ 14 and Android Studio 1.2
In new versions, it appears under a slightly different level in the menu…

Go to:
File > Settings > Editor > General
Then scroll down to find:
Limits > Maximum number of contents to keep in clipboard

If they decide to move it again, you can always just search for “max clipboard”, that is:

Then type “max clipboard” in the dialog that comes up.
