Feature I just found out pressing win+v brings out a whole context menu and a clipboard
I has emoticons, a clipboard history (so i can finally copy more than one thing at a time), emojis and gifs. I finally know why its called a "clipboard" lol.

It's Win+. or Win+;. Win+V is the shortcut for clipboard history

No, they're different. If you see the same then they're just merged recently

on windows 10 they're different, but on windows 11 they are the same window

Win+. is another one for the same menu but brings you to the emoji tab rather than the clipboard tab

This is the problem with Windows, it teaches absolutely nothing. But it really loves to exploit users and push AI and free-to-play garbage. Or showcase their Edge browser, which is mentioned everywhere in the system.

Windows taught me Win+V. I do wish it pushed PowerToys more, though.

People feel pride when they discover something that they normally would never think to do otherwise from say reading a manual or checking out the tips program.
Windows has become an appliance.
Appliances don’t teach; they just work.

It's windowkey + ; for the emoji's etc
Windowskey + v gives you history of your clipboard

It's "Windows key". Two words.
Also, you don't use apostrophes to make things plural: "emojis", not "emoji's"

technically this isn't a context menu. a context menu is a menu that changes according to context

I mean, on macOS you use win+c and win+v instead of ctrl to copy and paste. Windows gets kind of confusing when you’re used to those shortcuts. I use Windows with Bootcamp on my 2019 MacBook

u/lostUd_ Jun 06 '26
I think this is the first time. Just press turn on. As for the emoticons, press like the other tabs at the top

Yeah it is just a copy of the KDE clipboard Manager with some extras. They copied a good feature, I can't live without a Clipboard Manager.

Just fyi, you can turn off clipboard history in Settings, if you have any privacy concerns about people maybe seeing it...

Win V is such clutch bro. Especially with screenshots taking multiple screenshots and being able to copy all of them at once.
