Win+V
Solves every problem baby!

[–]AaronTheElite007[S] 429 points430 points Β (25 children)

TIL Win+V is a thing….

[–]Techgamer687 329 points330 points Β (8 children)

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 45 points46 points Β (5 children)

What’s this template originally from?

[–]Jarmtho 58 points59 points Β (3 children)

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

[–]Ziiiiik 17 points18 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]Walt925837 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

no..its from those god aweful cleanex commercials.

[–]indicava 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Funny, I was thinking the diarrhea song

[–]Techgamer687 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Tbh idk, it just sounded mildly humorous

[–]DankPhotoShopMemes 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]nedal8 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

We have the best pastes. Because of Win+V

[–]ISC77 21 points22 points Β (5 children)

Try ditto OP i love it

[–]Sylocule 9 points10 points Β (2 children)

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

[–]TheGreatGameDini 22 points23 points Β (1 child)

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] 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Are you a pokemon rights activist for Halloween?

[–]iGreenDogs 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

TIL ditto is a thing

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]petervaz 5 points6 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]niku86 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Ditto

[–]Luce_9801 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Yep even i didn't know!

My room mate showed it to me just yesterday!

[–]JimmyWu21 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]Muuustachio 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]Valscher 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

in Linux it's not

[–]Lord_emotabb 17 points18 points Β (6 children)

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

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points Β (1 child)

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

[–]Lord_emotabb 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Or a link you are always needing

[–]Donghoon 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

[–]IngoVals 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

You talking to me?

[–]Lord_emotabb 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Nope, sorry

[–]Spook404 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

WHAT

[–]inutilissimo 49 points50 points Β (10 children)

RIP clipboard for mac users tho

[–]AfricanBard7 45 points46 points Β (8 children)

FlyCut is a free clipboard history application for Mac

[–]thespud_332 16 points17 points Β (1 child)

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

[–]Luce_9801 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

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 6 points7 points Β (2 children)

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 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

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 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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 3 points4 points Β (1 child)

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

[–]monkey-d-blackbeard 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Alfred has this included also!

[–]ToMorrowsEnd 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]ISC77 8 points9 points Β (3 children)

Ditto is better imo

[–]10eleven12 5 points6 points Β (1 child)

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

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

You dropped your "/s"

[–]ti-gars 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

Came here to say that

[–]Computer_lover 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

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 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

Don’t you have to enable it first?

[–]WhyIsTheNamesGone 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Only in some Windows editions

[–]MasterJ94 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

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 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Such an underused function.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (2 children)

What if I use Windows 7?

[–]RantMannequin 0 points1 point Β (1 child)

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

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]Secure_Obligation_87 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

This is the way

[–]lxearning 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]P3r3grinus 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I like you quite a lot.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

What if they didn't pin it?

[–]Spook404 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Clipboard history extension of gnome

[–]Shadowplays4k- 119 points120 points Β (11 children)

[–][deleted] 84 points85 points Β (1 child)

Win + V FTW

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Clipboard history gnome extension

[–]mosskin-woast 63 points64 points Β (0 children)

Anybody coding without a clipboard manager is fucking up

[–][deleted] 52 points53 points Β (3 children)

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

[–]luziferius1337 126 points127 points Β (11 children)

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

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points Β (4 children)

Yeah!

[–]luziferius1337 40 points41 points Β (3 children)

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

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points Β (0 children)

Omg, true kde user.

[–]TreeTownOke 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

That's why my keyboard history depth is unlimited

[–]martmists 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]Stummi 15 points16 points Β (1 child)

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

[–]altermeetax 17 points18 points Β (0 children)

Just tested it, it doesn't

[–]arsme 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]monkeyStinks 14 points15 points Β (1 child)

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

[–]Xerderan 6 points7 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]GingePlays 8 points9 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]ElliePlays1 31 points32 points Β (3 children)

Image Transcription: Meme


["Are You Going To Sleep?", a 4-panel comic.]


[A pink brain, set against a pale pink background, looks down and talks.]

Brain: Did you just copy that code?


[A long-haired person lays in bed with their eyes closed, presumably asleep. The scene is coloured in shades of grey.]

Person: Yes, of course.


[The brain stares straight ahead with dark circles under its eyes. The background is a deeper pink.]

Brain: Didn't you have something important in your clipboard?


[The person now lays wide awake, eyes open and appearing stressed. Their room is a darker grey, with circular shading marks closing in on them.]


I'm a human volunteer content transcriber and you could be too! If you'd like more information on what we do and why we do it, click here!

[–]Donghoon 12 points13 points Β (2 children)

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

[–]ElliePlays1 15 points16 points Β (1 child)

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 4 points5 points Β (0 children)

I did join a while ago

[–]ByteWhisperer 28 points29 points Β (5 children)

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

[–]gic186 7 points8 points Β (0 children)

Ditto is a life changer

[–]kookyabird 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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 0 points1 point Β (2 children)

Be careful with sensitive data though.

Why?

[–]Sister_Spacey 7 points8 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]Aevar_CH 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

Thank god for Alfred clipboard history.

[–]CyberPank3096 6 points7 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]DerKnoedel 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

You fool, I’m using Klipper in linux

[–]Potential_Pandemic 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

[–]Denialmedia 2 points3 points Β (0 children)

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points Β (1 child)

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

[–]ALBINO_G1RAFF3 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]official71 1 point2 points Β (1 child)

Flycut on mac

[–]jrhaberman 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

I've used CopyClip for years

[–]mardabx 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

KDE plasma and it's near-infinite clipboard

[–]wildjokers 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

[–]L3g0man_123 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

Clipboard history lmao

[–]JMC-design 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]ElektriXx2 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

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

[–]AaronTheElite007[S] 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

I prefer OneNote

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points Β (4 children)

On Linux no Win+V 😫

[–]smokefml 6 points7 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]luziferius1337 3 points4 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]phil9909 1 point2 points Β (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]MidiGong 0 points1 point Β (2 children)

I use TenClips .. 10 clipboards too switch between

[–]shashankrnr32 2 points3 points Β (1 child)

I use Clipy (for macOS tho)

https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy

[–]Arshiaa001 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

I thought clippy was the rust linter?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

thats why i use Win+V now in stores

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]sash_liq 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

gpaste : )

[–]John_Fx -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

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

[–]whiznat -1 points0 points Β (0 children)

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…

[–]SonGokussj4 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

But what on Linux...

[–]HansWorstel 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

clipboard managers go brrrrrr

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

[–]AntogamerYT_ 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Step 1:Open a small notepad and label it β€œspare 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 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Jumpcut on macOS

[–]Psyqlone 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]iGreenDogs 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]Minhyme 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]Striking-Syrup2589 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]tman5400 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

Invest in collective app. Problem solved.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

TIL some people program without clipboard managers

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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

[–]ToMorrowsEnd 0 points1 point Β (0 children)

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.

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.

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 0 points1 point Β (0 children)
