Windows Clipboard History

Windows Clipboard History

Copying and pasting can be done with your mouse, menu options, and keyboard shortcuts.

But did you know your system also has the ability to keep a (limited) history of what you've copied, and that you can view those items and choose to paste from any still in your history? 

Highlights: 
  1. Turn on the history (not on by default on a new system): Windows key + V 
  2. You can pin specific things to the history
  3. You can view (and clear out) items you've copied
