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.

    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.
