How to Access Clipboard on Mac

When you cut or copy an item on your Mac, it gets stored in the clipboard for easy access later. But did you know that your Mac also keeps a history of everything you've cut and copied? This history allows you to retrieve previously cut or copied items quickly.

However, there's a catch - if you cut or copy the same item multiple times, only one occurrence will be saved in your clipboard history. When you start cutting and copying new items, this creates a new history, which can get cluttered over time.

To clear your entire clipboard history, simply click on the 'Clear All' option at the top right corner of the clipboard window. Alternatively, you can delete individual items from your clipboard history by launching the clipboard history (using Command + Shift + V), clicking on the item you want to delete, and then clicking the 'X' button.

To paste an item, simply click on it or use your cursor to move it where you want to paste the item, and then press Enter. You can also open a document or email, launch the clipboard history (using Command + Shift + V), and easily copy items back to the clipboard or paste them into any application.

If you're interested in viewing your entire clipboard history at once, you can do so by pressing Command + Shift + V to launch the Clipdiary clipboard viewer. From here, you can cut or copy text, hyperlinks, images, and other content, as well as retrieve previously cut or copied items.

To find and enable clipboard on Windows 10, follow these steps: toggle the switch under 'Clipboard history' to On. By default, Microsoft disables the clipboard on Windows 10, but you can manually enable it to enjoy the same convenience features as Mac users.

By following these simple steps, you'll be able to access your clipboard history and easily retrieve previously cut or copied items on your Mac.
