ctrl-shift-v is so nice. it should be an OS-standard keyboard shortcut for clipboards.

would also love to get a mult-value clipboard (e.g. my last 5 clips) but... that's asking a lot i guess. ;-)

Use WIN+V instead of CTRL+V to get a clipboard history pop-up in Windows 10.

Just why can't you search it? I used Alfred religiously on OSX for this functionality; and it's almost there.

My complaint is that I can't reorder the items so that an older clip is back "on deck" for a vanilla CTRL+V. Some programs (gVim) don't take too kindly to WIN+V.

This looks magical o.0 I try to not install third party; but I think this will do it. Thanks.

i've used Ditto for years. love it!

Wow, I feel like it's time to bring back the "Welcome to Windows" tips at login.

..is there a way to bring that back?

woah... This works in KDE too on linux.

I use it in Mac as part of my job duties. So far it mostly works in the place I need it most which is web forms on chrome. Some applications I wish it worked on do not recognize it such as notes app. I'll have to figure it out on Mac since ahk was my go to when I had pc

On Mac, I'd always open up alfred, Paste, then copy it again to strip formatting. Pita but it worked and was rote after years of use.

cmd-space, cmd-v,cmd-a,cmd-x (buffer is now stripped)

Slightly more cumbersome but try Option-Cmd-Shift-v

Opt-cmd-shift-v is the (rather unwieldy) macOS shortcut to paste without formatting.

I have cmd-shift-v mapped to my clipboard history which is fully searchable, I use Raycast on Mac but I would wager there are Linux and Windows alternatives.

Works out of the box on Xfce.
