The ctrl-shift-v paste buffer in IntelliJ is great, but only holds 5 items. Is it possible to increase the size of this buffer?

Solution 1 - Intellij Idea
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:
- Windows: Ctrl+shift+a
- Mac: ⌘+shift+a
Then type "max clipboard" in the dialog that comes up.

For IntelliJ IDEA 2020.1 it can be done by edit properties in Registry. Goes to Help > Find Action and type Registry
