I don't know about that but I think we need two clipboards, standard. If we had the existing clipboard and a second with dedicated keys that would be very helpful.
I love how the clipboard works on Android. It has a whole history you can copy a bunch of things and then select which instance you want to paste. I want that in Windows.
You can do that in Windows and on some Linux distro, at least on KDE. It might be a setting you have to turn on. Hit windows key + v to choose what to paste
That's been implemented many times on the Mac and Windows and Linux. It's generally referred to as a "clipboard manager", if you want a search term.
I'd also add that emacs has its own (more sophisticated) system, the "kill ring", and I'm sure that vi has an analog of some sort.
I recently switched to Linux and I miss Win+V a lot. I keep pressing it expecting something to happen out of habit
I can do it on KDE!
Did you install something else? I'm using mint and I installed a clipboard manager but I haven't been able to bind it to win+v and also it doesn't work as well as the windows implementation
I think it's just a vanilla option, I have KDE on endeavorOS. It's not quite as smooth as the windows implementation but it's really nice to have
in a hyprland config i used to use win+v had a clipboard history thing pop up wherever your cursor was
I only have windows at work. What does this do is it like a clipboard manager?
Yes, if you enable clipboard you can access it with that shortcut
Linux has sort of two clipboards. There's the normal Ctrl-c/Ctrl-v one and also if you highlight a text you can paste that text using middle mouse button.
Yes! I use those all the time. It needs to be standard.
