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: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kde-workspace/klipper/
If that doesn't quite fit your needs there are of course a multitude of other options: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/clipboard

I have set Klipper to save 500 entries. It is triggered with a Ctrl+` on my system. And you could search through the Klipper history just by typing. If you enable "synchronize primary selection with clipboard" you will never have to do Ctrl-C to copy just select and it will be copied. And then you can trigger Klipper anywhere your mouse is by using shortcut Ctrl+`, search and paste.

Thanks, guys. This is exactly what I was looking for.
