I apologize if this is not Fedora-specific, but I've got a desktop question.
When I want to save some text, I'll highlight it and hit ctl-c or to copy it
or ctl-v to paste it. Is there anything analogous to "named registers" in
vim that will allow me to copy into different buffers (or, in vim,
registers) so I can grab and paste from multiple instances?
If it makes a difference, I'm running Fedora 20 with KDE 4.
Klipper is included with the Fedora KDE spin by default, and while it
doesn't really have _named_ registers it does save a list of the last
N items you copied and makes them available for easy pasting. For
more information, see:

If that doesn't quite fit your needs there are of course a multitude
of other options:
