Past clipboards are stored in `dired-ranger-copy-ring` so you can
repeat the past pastes.

Call `dired-ranger-paste` or `dired-ranger-move` to copy or move
the files in the current clipboard to the current dired buffer.
Call `dired-ranger-paste`, `dired-ranger-move`, `dired-ranger-hardlink`,
`dired-ranger-symlink`, or `dired-ranger-symlink-relative` to
paste, move, hardlink, symlink, or create a reliative symlink from
the files in the current clipboard to the current dired buffer respectively.
With raw prefix argument (usually C-u), the clipboard is not
cleared, so you can repeat the copy operation in another dired
buffer.
