Win+V works decently enough for me.
Same for plasma, global clipboard is just more convenient
Global clipboard is chef's kiss. Back when I was on Ubuntu/Gnome, I had to install CopyQ but having one come with the OS is great
Global clipboard synced with the smartphone thanks to KDE connect !
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
An excellent option to have when one of the major use cases for clipboards is as an intermediary for password managers.
I hope they eventually get sued into the fucking ground.
Password managers should mark their clipboard data as sensitive and clean it up. Use a proper password manager and there won't be issues.
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
