How to Use Windows + V to Copy and Paste

1. Copying Items

• Select the Text or Item: First, highlight the text or item you want to copy.

3. Pasting Items from Clipboard History

• Choose an Item: Click on any item in the clipboard history window to paste it where your cursor is currently placed.

• Pasting: The item you clicked on will be pasted into your document or text field.

4. Clearing Clipboard History

• Clear Clipboard: If you want to clear the entire clipboard history, click on the "Clear all" option at the top of the clipboard history window.

5. Pinning Items to the Clipboard

• Pin an Item: If you want to keep a specific item in your clipboard history for future use, click on the small pin icon next to that item. This will ensure it stays in your clipboard history even if you clear other items.

• Clipboard history is also synced across your devices if you're signed in with the same Microsoft account.

Conclusion:

Using the Windows + V shortcut is a great way to enhance your productivity by quickly accessing and managing multiple copied items. It's a simple but powerful feature that can save you time when working with text and other clipboard content.
