I think windows+v syncs to microsoft servers or something. I remember when I was running chris titus tech's debloat script it removed that functionality.

I googled it, there is an option to sync it to your Microsoft account, but I can't say whether that's on by default when you turn on clipboard history because I skipped adding a Microsoft account. But if it is, you can turn it off in Settings -> System -> Clipboard.

Holy crap I think that may be why I never used it. Fuck how much Windows likes to calls home

I'm don't know why but I've never used windows clipboard manager, which is weird because I go out of my way to make sure I have one when I'm on linux

Or the KDE System tray...

Ah, that is what I meant with OS-level clipboard manager (in fact, that is precisely what I thought of).

[–] Cwilliams 1 points 6 months ago

Oh, I gotcha now

Windows also has it, but it's disabled by default for some reason

Nah that'd be too intuitive

In all seriousness though, I kinda appreciate moving things around in my editor without losing that one snipet I copied for later
