![]() When you press the designated “Search + V” key combo, a card will appear on the screen near your text cursor or caret. With its arrival, we also get our first look at how the clipboard manager’s UI will work. ![]() Selecting something from the menu will result in a paste to the active window. After copying to the clipboard, press search + v to show the history. Productivity Experiment: Enable Enhanced ClipboardĮnables an experimental clipboard history which aims to reduce context switching. Interestingly, Google has taken the time to give the feature’s flag in chrome://flags a much more friendly name and description. Update 7/17: After three more weeks of development, Chrome OS’s clipboard manager has begun to arrive on the latest Chrome OS Canary builds, as noted by Chrome Story. In its current early stage of development, Chrome OS’s clipboard manager will store the five most recent things you’ve copied, with planned support for text, formatted text, images, web links in a bookmark format, and something called “ web smart paste.”ĭigging into an older code change from the same developer, we believe that Chrome OS’s clipboard manager is being given the fitting codename “tote.” From this same code, we also believe that “tote” will have a dedicated button in Chrome OS’s quick settings tray, in addition to being easily opened with Search + V. In this case, Search + V was likely chosen for the clipboard manager to be similar to the Ctrl + V combo for paste on most computers. ![]() The key combo itself, Search + V, isn’t too surprising, as Chrome OS uses the Search key in many other useful ways, such as Search + Left for the Home key and Search + A for the Google Assistant. Pressing search + v will show a menu that allows you to paste things previously copied. Judging from the flag’s description, it seems to be inspired by Windows 10’s own clipboard manager, using a similar key combo. Android, like many other operating systems, can only offer this capability through an installed app such as Gboard, which only just this year gained support for saving recently copied images.Īccording to a newly posted code change, with an accompanying flag in chrome://flags, Google is preparing a built-in clipboard manager for Chrome OS. On Windows 10, you can use the Windows + V key combo to pull up a list of things you’ve recently copied, which is especially handy for times when you accidentally copy over something you were meaning to keep in your clipboard. Now, Google is looking to bring a similar clipboard manager to Chrome OS with support for text, images, and more. One of the more useful features of Windows 10, as well as Gboard for Android, is the ability to temporarily store and manage the things you’ve recently copied to your clipboard.
