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.

    I use CopyQ (persistent history across boots, larger history size and more) and have re-assigned the Win+V key to it. Saves a shit ton of my time.

      Does it sometimes not copy? Windows has been doing this for years now.
