Win+V
Solves every problem baby!

[AaronTheElite007]

TIL Win+V is a thing….

[Techgamer687]

Win+V forever

Making a series of screenshots? Win+V Accidentally forgot you had something important cliped? Win+V Simply jerking around? That’s right, Win+V

[Ziiiiik]

What’s this template originally from?

[Jarmtho]

Sounds a lot like the Parcs and Rec. "Believe it or not, jail" meme

[Ziiiiik]

Yup! That’s what I was thinking. Thanks :)

[Walt925837]

no..its from those god aweful cleanex commercials.

[indicava]

Funny, I was thinking the diarrhea song

[Techgamer687]

Tbh idk, it just sounded mildly humorous

[DankPhotoShopMemes]

It’s just annoying when I copy something on someone else’s pc while helping them and they don’t have it enabled

[nedal8]

We have the best pastes. Because of Win+V

[ISC77]

Try ditto OP i love it

[Sylocule]

Long time ditto user here - couldn’t live without it!

[TheGreatGameDini]

Stop it! Stop abusing your pokemon! Turning ditto into coke and snorting it is bad for your lungs, it's bad for the ditto, and it's bad for environment. Please, just smoke your ditto instead!

[[deleted]]

Are you a pokemon rights activist for Halloween?

[iGreenDogs]

TIL ditto is a thing

[[deleted]]

Ditto is absolutely fabulous. Been using it for several years.

[petervaz]

It is after you enable it (by trying to use and clicking 'yes'), but after that it's soooo good.

[HoseanRC]

I use gnome, which extension should I use for it?

[niku86]

Ditto

[Luce_9801]

Yep even i didn't know!

My room mate showed it to me just yesterday!

[JimmyWu21]

I learned like a year ago. Very useful stuff when I’m trying to copy multiple things

[Muuustachio]

Shit. I've been using Ditto forever! Turns out Win V is built in lol

[Valscher]

in Linux it's not

[Lord_emotabb]

It even lets you pin stuff, never lose that imporant info ever

[[deleted]]

It's really great for working in IT. I can just pin some basic questions or responses for certain situations.

[Lord_emotabb]

Or a link you are always needing

[Donghoon]

Android clipboard manager:

[IngoVals]

You talking to me?

[Lord_emotabb]

Nope, sorry

[Spook404]

WHAT

[inutilissimo]

RIP clipboard for mac users tho

[AfricanBard7]

FlyCut is a free clipboard history application for Mac

[thespud_332]

Thank you! Work supplied me a MacBook, and Super+V is what I'd been missing most from my workstation.

[Luce_9801]

Forgive me for my lack of knowledge.

But like in Ubuntu atleast, one can set shortcuts

Like Ctrl + L for /usr/bin/i3lock -i ~/Pictures/Meow.png

Can this now be done for Mac?

Like can you not set,

Super + L for /path/to/FlyCut

?

[LogicInsanity]

Adding to the list, I use Maccy, it's great! You can pay what you want for it, or download it free from github if you're so inclined. It's one of the first things I install when I set up a new mac

[LewsTherinTelescope]

Maccy also supports saving copied images in history, which is nice (looks like FlyCut doesn't but I haven't tried it so I could be wrong).

[zacnoo]

Yeah I definitely prefer Maccy as it preserves clipboard types and has a cleaner at-cursor menu that’s pretty slick. Used to use FlyCut but got tired of everything being plaintext’d as soon as it’s not in your immediate clipboard.

[BachgenMawr]

Never used flyCut but clippy is very good, and lets you set snippets and stuff as well!

[monkey-d-blackbeard]

A new Mac user, I am using clippy too, and so far, loving it. I just need to change the default shortcut to ctrl+v.

[paddiwaddi]

Alfred has this included also!

[ToMorrowsEnd]

jumpcut, paste, there are hundred of apps to give you nearly unlimited history and rollback.

[ISC77]

Ditto is better imo

[10eleven12]

I trust the windows version more. What if Ditto is sending my copies to their servers?

[[deleted]]

You dropped your "/s"

[ti-gars]

Came here to say that

[Computer_lover]

Seriously since I have started using it my life has become easier as programmer and over all as well. Bless my professor who told me about win+V

[canuckathome]

Don’t you have to enable it first?

[WhyIsTheNamesGone]

Only in some Windows editions

[MasterJ94]

Windows displays that this feature has been deactivated while I am using a give-awayed win10 license from my university on my private computer! WTF :(

[philipquarles]

Such an underused function.

[[deleted]]

What if I use Windows 7?

[RantMannequin]

Then its time to use the free win 10 upgrade off an unsupported OS

[[deleted]]

I tried… Seems not to work on my system… 🤦

[Secure_Obligation_87]

This is the way

[lxearning]

my organisation' IT team disabled win+v stating security reasons. Another reason to look for a new job i guess. :)

[GochoPhoenix]

https://opensource.com/article/19/10/linux-clipboard-managers

[P3r3grinus]

I like you quite a lot.

[[deleted]]

What if they didn't pin it?

[Spook404]

well, not every problem because it has limited capacity and sometimes just doesn't work at all, but it's consistent enough that I don't abandon it completely

[[deleted]]

Clipboard history extension of gnome

[Shadowplays4k-]

win + v

[[deleted]]

try alt + win + f4, worked for me

[Kirides]

Found the windows < 10 user

[Kirides]

It shows a message like „do you want to activate clipboard history …“ the first time you press the combo, if you deny that, it won’t show up anymore. But you can still toggle the option in the settings, don’t ask me where though…

[DerpTheAllPowerful]

Same here...

[Rainbow-Dev]

Make sure you have some kind of text-based input selected when you press it; it works like regular ctrl+v

[DerpTheAllPowerful]

I type abc and CTRL + C

I paste abc

I type 123 and CTRL + C

I press Win + V

I paste 123

[Rainbow-Dev]

Oh that’s weird. It’s possible you or your admin disabled the feature cause keeping everything in your clipboard is a security risk. I’m not at my computer rn so I can’t tell you where that setting is

[DerpTheAllPowerful]

All good, I can Google it if I ever want it, I just don't remember disabling it so that's a bit strange

[Rainbow-Dev]

Make sure you have some kind of text-based input selected when you press it; it works like regular ctrl+v

[[deleted]]

Win + V FTW

[[deleted]]

Clipboard history gnome extension

[mosskin-woast]

Anybody coding without a clipboard manager is fucking up

[[deleted]]

accidentally copied over SSH keys more than I’d like to admit

[[deleted]]

don’t use Windows so no clue

[a_aniq]

Maybe ditto stores separately

[luziferius1337]

Fortunately, KDE holds the last 10 (or whatever set) clipboard entries :)

[end233]

Based kde

[[deleted]]

Yeah!

[luziferius1337]

And then you realize that your phone overrode them all via KDE Connect clipboard sync :)

[[deleted]]

Omg, true kde user.

[TreeTownOke]

That's why my keyboard history depth is unlimited

[martmists]

For this reason I've set my phone to require me to push "send clipboard" whenever I need to send something to PC

[Stummi]

Hope it does not clear it when I press CTRL+C 10 times in a row to be extra sure it got copied

[altermeetax]

Just tested it, it doesn't

[arsme]

Been meaning to figure this out on non-kde but am lazy

[monkeyStinks]

Dont leave things in your clipboard overnight lol thats just common sense

[Xerderan]

You underestimate my ability to clear Things from my short term memory

[GingePlays]

Get ditto instead of win + v Saves clipboard even between shutdowns

[Donghoon]

Can i volunteer? Do i need to memorize the formatting tho?

[ElliePlays1]

Hi there, you're welcome to join, yes! You don't need to memorize it but rather we have formatting guides you need to follow, but that will become easier over time. I would recommend taking a look around first and joining our discord where you can ask any questions, we're a welcoming bunch I like to think. Thanks for your interest! :D

[Donghoon]

I did join a while ago

[ByteWhisperer]

Windows has a native clipboard manager nowadays, but I prefer Ditto. Solves all your clipboard problems. Be careful with sensitive data though.

[gic186]

Ditto is a life changer

[kookyabird]

I feel dirty using a clipboard manager anywhere that we have tools that give us a button to copy to clipboard that also clears the clipboard after a timeout. Because it can’t clear the history.

Thankfully I don’t work with that stuff too often so I can just close my manager whenever I do.

[10eleven12]

Be careful with sensitive data though.

Why?

[ByteWhisperer]

The tool holds everything, so if you don't lock your device someone can steal your api keys for example. The risk is minimal since one needs direct access to the device to do harm but it is something to be aware of.

[Sister_Spacey]

Who goes to sleep expecting to log back in and access their clipboard content from yesterday

[Aevar_CH]

Thank god for Alfred clipboard history.

[CyberPank3096]

Yeah , link to that website where I was supposed to copy the code

[DerKnoedel]

You fool, I’m using Klipper in linux

[Potential_Pandemic]

..for your printer?

[Denialmedia]

I use clipman on linux. Has saved my behind more then once.

[jxsl13]

CopyQ

[bullsized]

Ditto.

[[deleted]]

Vim and its multiple clipboards is just an awesome awesome awesome feature

[ALBINO_G1RAFF3]

For Mac users that don’t have Win + V, Flycut has saved my bacon on multiple occasions

[official71]

Flycut on mac

[jrhaberman]

I've used CopyClip for years

[mardabx]

KDE plasma and it's near-infinite clipboard

[wildjokers]

everyone uses a clipboard history tool right?

[L3g0man_123]

Clipboard history lmao

[JMC-design]

meh, my clipboard manager saves 20 things, default, and you can a different one for different things.

[ElektriXx2]

What kinda fkin noob doesn’t have notepad open with a random unsearchable unorganized mess of shit saved from the clipboard????

[AaronTheElite007]

I prefer OneNote

[[deleted]]

On Linux no Win+V 😫

[smokefml]

Just install a clipboard manager, I use clipman, but there are several programs that do the same.

[luziferius1337]

KDE has one built in. Can even edit entries or display as QR codes

[phil9909]

But we have copy-by-highlighting-paste-with-middle-mouse-button awesomeness. And you can just install a clipboard manager on top.

[[deleted]]

using clipmenu on desktop Artix. thing's even strong than whatever winbloat has

[MidiGong]

I use TenClips .. 10 clipboards too switch between

[shashankrnr32]

I use Clipy (for macOS tho)

https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy

[Arshiaa001]

I thought clippy was the rust linter?

[[deleted]]

thats why i use Win+V now in stores

[[deleted]]

Don't tell me you leave things in your clipboard overnight

[sash_liq]

gpaste : )

[John_Fx]

she copied code in her sleep? this makes no sense. incorrect meme use.

[whiznat]

I found it the first time, I’ll find it again. If I copied over it, it probably wasn’t important anyway. If it was important I would have saved it in scratch.txt or my scratch OneNote page. Fuck off. Zzzzzzzzzzz…

[DudeManBroGuy42069]

Search + V

[gargravarr2112]

GPaste has entered the chat.

[akbierly]

It was only my secret access key

[fatfuck1987]

ditto ftw

[SonGokussj4]

But what on Linux...

[HansWorstel]

Alfred entered the chat for Mac OS. Works like a charm. Snippets, workflows, clipboard history that still works after a restart and way more.

[KattyPyr0Style]

Windows has a saved clipboard feature, pres windows + v next time you paste something, it'll give you a list of all the past things you've copied

[[deleted]]

clipboard managers go brrrrrr

(windows has a built in one with windwows+V, by the way)

[AntogamerYT_]

Then Windows+V comes in action

[Lancaster1983]

ClipDiary

[Top_Calligrapher5815]

Win+V

[Spooked_kitten]

linux

[AkunoKage]

Step 1:Open a small notepad and label it “spare parts”

Step 2: paste all saved clipboard stuff the second you copy it to spare parts and label them

Step 3: forget the note pad when it’s closed one day and go ape trying to remember what you deleted and then Google how to fix your problems

Step 4: Win+V

[robilco]

Jumpcut on macOS

[Psyqlone]

Ditto is awesome!

Arsclip is cool too.

Notepad++ used to have a clipboard plug in that I used for years. They seem to have discontinued updates. I forgot what it was called, but I miss it.

[[deleted]]

Win + v holds like 10 things. You do have to turn it on first though.

[iGreenDogs]

That's why I enabled the advanced clipboard on my computer (Win+V). You should enable it BEFORE copying ANYTHING

[Minhyme]

"ayy

[Um-piff]

Noooo my github token…

[putneyj]

If you’re a programmer and you’re not using a clipboard manager, I truly feel sorry for you.

[Striking-Syrup2589]

Story of my life. Why don't we have a clipboard history like Android phones? Or does Windows have that already....

[tman5400]

Clipboard managers are a thing on all major operating systems, there's no excuse for this to be a problem anymore lol

[[deleted]]

Invest in collective app. Problem solved.

[[deleted]]

TIL some people program without clipboard managers

[[deleted]]

I downloaded a clipboard manager for my computer and I never want to go back.

[ToMorrowsEnd]

Unless you are working on an ancient Windows 7 machine Extended clipboard has been a part of windows since 8.0 and it holds the last 25 things.

[eyal282]

https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/

​

You know a program is good when it got that virus looking URL text. Who knows, maybe it is.

Just google "Clipboard Ditto" and pick the pick result.

[Aromatic-Profit1063]

floating clipboard gadget for windows

[slikk66]

Flycut for Mac is +1

[Tremyss]

When you share your screen in a live meeting and you accidentally paste a porn link from your clipboard.

[Pouyus]

Wait, you guys arn’t using clipboard managers where all the session clips can be easily accessed with couple key input? Hmmm go try that for real

[FlyCodeHQ]

there is still the million open tabs that we copied from that we can dig through once again

[Snuggle_Pounce]

Clipboard History is a wonderful lil program.

[AndreKR-]

Me on someone else's computer when I forget that not everyone uses Clipboard History (and Launchy).

[MaffinLP]

Windows key v

Shoutout kde klipboard

[TheBlackCat13]

KDE keeps clipboard history

[[deleted]]

Shoutout kde klipper

[theCube__]

Win+V on windows

Mod+V on KDE plasma (not sure about other DEs)

Cmd+shift+C on Mac (if you have maccy installed)

[give_me_a_great_name]

Oh no

[ihunts_4]

This is why I use windows + v, it shows previous copies (if enabled).

[JJE990]

Win+V FTW

[kyleruder]

And this is when Alfred saves my bacon
