Why YSK: Suppose, you want to copy multiple parts of texts from different documents to a single document. You can copy all of them and paste one by one by bringing up the clipboard history. This is one of the many useful cases of a clipboard history.
Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: From the Windows Start menu, go to “Settings” and then “System”. Go to the gear icon for “Settings” in the Windows Start menu and directly after that go to “System”.
Step 2: Click “Clipboard” in the left sidebar and set the toggle at “Clipboard history” to “On”.
This works in only Windows 10 and 11.
You should really disable clipboard history. A security nightmare.
Number one reason I don’t want that. If I C&P a password, the first thing I do is copy whatever else to remove it.
KeePass removes it as fast as you have pasted it.
Visual assist had multiple CTRL C back in the day (still does ofc but MSVC has now too, buttering fingers their functions over other old shortcuts) very neat and pro productivity especially the shortcut to “paste the second to last” IMO.
KeePass has password in limbo for 10 seconds instead of 11? Do they really not store (for c&p) passwords saver than clipboard? I only do that with irrelevant things, like for my lemmy account or what not. I assume that they have a much better solution.
All passwords that are actually relevant (email, Firefox, bank, …) are memorized.
This is the way. You can turn it back on if you really need to use it for something, but it should default to off. If you have it off and press win + v there is a button to turn it on right in the popup. I just wish they added an off button there, too You have to go into settings to turn it back off.
Ysk: this “windows logo” key is called the Super key or the Meta key
What I imagine your life is like:
Y: Hey press the meta key.
O: the fucking what mate?
Y: the key with the windows logo on it.
O: you mean the windows key?
Y: You should know, it’s called the super key, or the metakey
O: …

Hey here is a new FN ‘funktion’ key! It displaces CTRL but man isn’t it exciting.

What about a screenshot key (displacing the right ctrl)??

Where I put my hands, there is only function keys.

Man, it’s really annoying switching from Mac to windows frequently.
I use windows at home and Mac at work.
Cmd c/v vs ctrl c/v
When I was in college, they had mostly Macs on campus. Whenever I used one, the very first thing I would do is go into the Control Panels and rebind the Ctrl key to actually activate Ctrl, and the middle click to actually middle click (instead of opening the stupid worthless dashboard).
By the time I graduated, every damn Mac in that building had its keys remapped to perform the proper functions.
