And to be clear, "Paste Previous" is not in the Edit menu.
It is, but it isn't always visible. BBEdit takes advantage of Mac OS X's dynamic menus(*). In order to provide variants of commands without making the menus overwhelmingly large, some commands swap in when you hold down a modifier (shift, option, etc.).
Since Paste and Paste Previous Clipboard both share the base keyboard equivalent Command-V, once you hold down Shift Paste Previous Clipboard is swapped in. Try it while you are looking at the edit menu.
This is used in a bunch of places. For example, "Entab..." becomes "Entab" when holding down the option key, and will run using the last options set rather than prompting you for spaces per tab.
[*] BBEdit actually used dynamic menus before they were a standard feature in the OS. Back then, we used the Mercutio MDEF.
