    Nevermind simply having an OS-level clipboard manager…

        I think windows+v syncs to microsoft servers or something. I remember when I was running chris titus tech’s debloat script it removed that functionality.

          I googled it, there is an option to sync it to your Microsoft account, but I can’t say whether that’s on by default when you turn on clipboard history because I skipped adding a Microsoft account. But if it is, you can turn it off in Settings -> System -> Clipboard.

          An excellent option to have when one of the major use cases for clipboards is as an intermediary for password managers.

          I hope they eventually get sued into the fucking ground.

        I’m don’t know why but I’ve never used windows clipboard manager, which is weird because I go out of my way to make sure I have one when I’m on linux

      Application specific buffers are the first thing I disable on emacs. The OS one isn’t just integrated with every other normal piece of software, it’s also more powerful and easier to use.

      … at least on my Linux, YMMV.

        I took a look through my power toys settings, but couldn’t find anything there that had to do with the win+v clipboard history. Google hasn’t been any help either. What is it that I’m overlooking? How does powertoys improve the clipboard history feature?

          I’m currently not on my windows pc at the moment but it could be that it’s functionality might actually be native to win 11? I don’t realise use it myself I just remember seeing it when originally getting powertoys and thinking that was cool

            The Clipboard History is indeed a part of Windows 10. But I was wondering how PowerToys enhanced the functionality of it.

              I’ve probably completely misremembered it and maybe learned of it the same time i learned about and installed powertoys. My bad.

        Ah, that is what I meant with OS-level clipboard manager (in fact, that is precisely what I thought of).

      Nah that’d be too intuitive

      In all seriousness though, I kinda appreciate moving things around in my editor without losing that one snipet I copied for later
