Clipboard History does not recognize the Delete key on Windows 11
I recently moved to Windows 11 (installed from scratch), and as soon as it was ready I activated the Clipboard History with the Win+V shortcut, since I really liked this feature on Windows 10. But a...
This is the one thing preventing me from upgrading to Windows 11 on remaining Win10 PCs. wwddss has this pretty clearly explained, but I'd add a few additional notes:
- pressing 'delete' after opening the clipboard history on Win11 actually sends 'delete' to the text box you have selected (behind the Clipboard History UI), potentially deleting a character (if you're in the middle of a line)
- manually removing entries on Win11 with the 3dots/trash takes *significantly* longer, as you have to wait between clicks for it to register, otherwise the UI gets confused. So it's 'click... wait... click... wait...' This means trying to remove 20 individual entries used to take ~5s and now takes ~40+s - again, sounds super minor, but when I'm in the flow of doing things, waiting so much longer for a UI that used to work great is super painful.
