Don't copy and paste multiple items. Instead, copy all the items you need and then press this shortcut key to paste anything from your clipboard history. #windows11
Windows + V was introduced in 2018 so unless you're 5 years old you haven't been doing it wrong your whole life. Also, while it is useful, most copying and pasting is pretty simple and using this shortcut isn't going to save you much time. The main use is when the text you want to paste isn't at the top of the clipboard because you copied something else.
You are correct. This feature, known as Clipboard History, first appeared in the Windows's 10 October 2018 (Version 1809) update. Therefore, unless you are under five years old, this feature was not available in Windows your whole life.
@Eshin Ganerz How does this bug manifest itself? I have used Win-V on numerous Windows 10 and 11 computers in the last few years without any apparent problems.
@@janbour8152 Linux hasn't been available during the entire 35 years. But on the other hand there have been third party utilities that enable the function in other operating systems. First time the clipboard history was introduced in KDE in 2020 and in Gnome 2021
@@TechSpec814 Well, the way I see it, there are three basic career paths in tech. 1, you aim for some life-long position at a major company for the steady work and benefits. 2, you opt for the freedom of doing freelance work, which can be rewarding if you don't mind walking tightropes without a net. Or 3, you focus on solo creating new new tech. Which path you choose is a matter of your tolerance for risk. The downside of a tech career is that there are total paradigm shifts every few years. It can be like a permanent state of working full time and also being a full time college student just to keep up with the state of the industry, forever. I think the best advice I can give is to be constantly aware of the potential for burnout. You'll need to devise strategies to keep it at bay. It can be a very thankless job as people can come to regard you as little more than another piece of office equipment. Establish boundaries and stick to them. Two other things to watch out for are "Project Creep" and "Creeping Scope". This is when whoever is employing you starts to grasp the potential of your talent. Their imaginations starts to swell with all the cool things they can think of to ADD to the work you've already agreed to. It's like someone commissioning you to build a Honda Civic who, after seeing you can build just about anything, constantly keeps coming to you with ideas for "improvements" while you're working until you realize they're expecting you to deliver a Lamborghini at the end. They don't want to PAY for a Lambo and don't think all of their "little" suggestions amount to very much work. Always make sure THEY know the little extras they desire cost extra and what they WON'T be getting for the money they're offering. And that reminds me of one last hazard, the "Golden Handcuffs". That's when you're being offered rediculous amounts of money to work yourself to death. It can be just as bad for you as picking up a heroin addiction.
My whole life?! I was introduced to Cut and Paste in the late 1980s when I first used Microsoft Works on MS-DOS 3.3. At the time, there was no Windows key on a standard PC keyboard. I didn’t have a mouse yet at that time. So I was limited to using CTRL C,X,A, and V, or pressing Alt, Then going to Edit, and Choose Cut, Copy, Paste and Select All. Selecting text was done by pressing shift and using the arrow keys to highlight what I wanted to copy. I may have more history using computers than a lot of people here, but most of us have been alive longer than the modern Windows clipboard has been around Saying people have been using cut and paste wrong our entire life implies the option to use Win + V has been available a lot longer than it has been.
At one time clicking CTRL+C twice in a row quickly displayed the clipboard that you could paste from. But it didn't seem to always work so I would forget about it.
My MS-DOS based software used different shortcuts, Ctrl+Ins for copy, Shift+Del for cut, Shift+Ins for paste. They still work in many places on Windows. Some websites break them, though, with their "smart" input fields that support some formatting.
You don't cut, copy, and paste. You either cut and paste or copy and paste. The only difference is that "cut" deletes it from the original location while "copy" does not.
he doesn’t know what Windows 95 was, and if you mention OS/2 (best OS at that time) where ctrl-/v comes from originally a few people my scratch their heads.
Clipboard history is a fairly recent addition to windows, i think about 4 years ago. I had this idea before win 10 release but couldn't find a way to ask microsoft for it. Glad they added it anyways. Another useful tip for CH is that whatever you pin to the clipboard stays there forever even after a restart.
I had this as a workstation feature at a job in 2011. So it may exist in some versions of windows. But it wasn't just clipboard stuff that stayed open after restart . It was EVERYTHING!! All apps
What do you mean by you had this idea? It has existed in MS Office for a long time, so you merely mean you wanted to suggest that Microsoft build such a feature into the OS itself.
@@rextransformation7418 copying a password for example will have it saved into your clipboard, which could then be accessed by someone malicious (if that malicious person has access to your computer)
Can’t wait for the “you have been playing video games wrong your entire life because you didn’t use a 13th i9 with 4090 and didn’t use ray tracing since the day you were born” video.
Seriously?!?!? You’ve never copied something, then done something else and then realised you’ve lost what you copied because you copied something else in the process.
Another thing people don't do is selecting areas using the shift+arrows. sometimes it's quicker to use the mouse, but as a programmer when working with text, it's much quicker to use the arrows to navigate, select and move text around.
Your entire life is since windows 10 introduced this clipboard history thing. My entire life has been since the days of windows 98. We are not the same.
I’m always a bit annoyed when videos act like what they’re saying really is the greatest way to do this. It’s way too slow for a programmer. Having to select what you’re copying is just a waste of time.
Already using since 2020 😃 Unless clipboard history is enabled by going to settings, it won't show even if you press window + v as much as you want. 🤓 Make sure to turn it on First then you be able to use it..! Directly press window + v and click Turn On button if you see it. Otherwise type clipboard in the search bar in the Task Bar, open settings and enable it from there. 🤗
Grass is a type of plant with narrow leaves growing from the base. A common kind of grass is used to cover the ground in places such as lawns and parks. Grass is usually the color green. Grasses are monocotyledon herbaceous plants. The grasses include the "grass" of the family Poaceae. This family is also called Gramineae. The family also include some of the sedges (Cyperaceae) and the rushes (Juncaceae).[1] These three families are not closely related but all of them belong to clades in the order Poales. They are similar adaptations to a common life-style. The true grasses include cereals, bamboo and the grasses of lawns (turf) and grassland. Uses for graminoids include food (as grain, sprouted grain, shoots or rhizomes), drink (beer, whisky), pasture for livestock, thatching thatch, paper, fuel, clothing, insulation, construction, sports turf, basket weaving and many others. Many grasses are short, but some grasses can grow tall, such as bamboo. Plants from the grass family can grow in many places and make grasslands, including areas which are very arid or cold. There are several other plants that look similar to grass and are referred to as such, but are not members of the grass family. These plants include rushes, reeds, papyrus and water chestnut. Seagrass is a monocot in the order Alismatales. Grasses are an important food for many animals, such as deer, buffalo, cattle, mice, grasshoppers, caterpillars and many other grazers. Unlike other plants, grasses grow from the bottom, so when animals eat grass they usually do not destroy the part that grows.[2] This is a part of why the plants are successful. Without grass, soil may wash away into rivers (erosion).
I absolutely LOVE this feature! It's great for username/passwords or any long form! Copy a title on a page, copy the link address of the page, then paste both without switching back! It's truly awesome!
Pro tip: Do NOT do this if you copy porn or very sensitive data sometimes because it requires turning on the clipboard history, which means that the last copy doesn't overwrite the previous one, and so on.
@@etherheaded Thanks for the obvious tip of deleting digital history, but my unspoken point was that anyone is liable to forget this sometimes. I'm glad you never forget to cover your tracks, though, that you never thought of the risk of forgetting; that's a legendary ability.
This is a recent feature introduced in Windows 10's October 2018 Update (Version 1809) so it was not available to users more than five years ago. The Clipboard History feature has limitations (a) only stores up to 25 recently copied items; (b) Limited to text, HTML, and images less than 4 MB in size.
Clipboard history is a relatively recent addition to Windows. It was introduced in Windows 10. Up until then, third-party programs offered the same functionality.
Heres my clipboard cause why not: A rocket-propelled grenade (left) and RPG-7 launcher. For use, the thinner cylinder part of the rocket-propelled grenade is inserted into the muzzle of the launcher.RPGs with high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warheads are very effective against lightly armored vehicles such as armored personnel carriers (APCs) and armored cars. However, modern, heavily-armored vehicles, such as upgraded APCs and main battle tanks, are generally too well-protected (with thick composite or reactive armor) to be penetrated by an RPG, unless less armored sections of the vehicle are exploited. Various warheads are also capable of causing secondary damage to vulnerable systems (especially sights, tracks, rear and roof of turrets) and other unarmored targets. The term "rocket-propelled grenade" is from the Russian acronym РПГ (Ручной Противотанковый Гранатомёт, Ruchnoy Protivotankovy Granatomyot), meaning "handheld anti-tank grenade launcher", the name given to early Russian designs.The M134 Minigun is an American 7.62×51mm NATO six-barrel rotary machine gun with a high rate of fire (2,000 to 6,000 rounds per minute).[2] It features a Gatling-style rotating barrel assembly with an external power source, normally an electric motor. The "Mini" in the name is in comparison to larger-caliber designs that use a rotary barrel design, such as General Electric's earlier 20 mm M61 Vulcan, and "gun" for the use of rifle ammunition as opposed to autocannon shells.Type Rotary medium machine gun Place of origin United States Service history In service 1963-present Used by See Users Wars Vietnam War Third Indochina War United States invasion of Grenada United States invasion of Panama Soviet-Afghan War Falklands War Gulf War Operation Restore Hope War in Afghanistan (2001-2021)[1] Iraq War Production history Designer General Electric Designed 1960 Manufacturer General Electric Dillon Aero Garwood Industries Profense Produced 1962-present Variants See Design and variants Specifications Mass 85 lb (39 kg), 41 lb (19 kg) lightweight mod.

Why why whyyyyyyyy only now ???? 😭 On Android it's been around for a while. On MacOs, PastePal does the job. So glad to see this on windows now.. Thank you so much - you're one step closer to beatification.
^KB, ^KK, ^KC - That's what was used to copy things once I got an editor that actually supported copying. Selecting things with the mouse and having a clipboard so you could copy things between programs came much later. Having multiple clips in the clipboard isn't really something that has existed my whole life.
So you know since this feature was included Microsoft get copies of everything you copy and paste. It was not so in earlier windows versions, because Microsoft did not have a direct pipeline through the internet to your PC by their OS.
Chrome Auto Copy Extension (highlight to automatically copy) + CopyQ (powerful clipboard history) make Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, and Win+V obsolete. Also mapped my Logitech M720 Triathlon mouse wheel, which rocks side-to-side from left to right, to copy and paste respectively. Dramatically improved my productivity.
Not only is it useful for copy and pasting mulitple things, its also how you can use emojis find your most used emojis and insert gifs like on mobile if you're into that thing
broh Linux has had this for DECADES. Select text with mouse, it automatically goes into the clipboard, then paste with the middleclick. To view your clipboard history, click on the icon in your task bar that looks like a paperclip
No, I haven't. Highlight with mouse cursor, Right-click, 'Copy' Move cursor to destination, Right-click. 'Paste'. It takes LONGER to type how to do that than it does to actually carry it out . . .
Using this Feature since I switched to Linux. Most of the time only to switch some text positions. The usual method is faster most of the time since I don't need to change my hand position. Good to see that Windows has this too though
I've been using computers and used copy and paste in SpeedScript for the C64. (Forget how, but I don't think Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V was standard then - DOS wasn't around yet, certainly no Windows Key. The tool definitely appears useful. I see a few security issues listed, but my computers are single user.
I found clipboard copying years ago then lost it (forgot it) for a while then refound it a few months ago. But I'm still not in the Win+V habit. Thanks for the reminder!
This feature is on android phones forever, All OS companies are not doing their job right. On my Samsung it always reminds me to clear clipboard history for security purposes
Did you know that if ur left handed mouse user, using Apples cut, copy and paste key sequences are a pain. The old Windows cut copy and paste short cuts are far easier. Esp, if you,re an editor.
Hi. Thanks for the tip. It's amazing and saves me lots of time. But after using the feature for about 3 days, my laptop has run slow and started to lag. Then I opened Task Manager, and I realized that the Microsoft Input Experience was the cause of the lag. It keeps consuming RAM until my RAM is 90% occupied. And at that point, I can't use my laptop anymore. I have to restart it and turn off Clipboard history. It's so sad :( Note: My laptop is MSI modern 14, Ryzen 5 5500u
1. MY entire life didn't have computers. 2. The first computer I used was a dumb terminal connected to a mainframe and was named VAX. No mouse, no windows key. Pretty much just type what you want to do on the command line. 3. I won't even go into the time I spent on an Apple computer.. which, not surprisingly, also has no Windows key.
