Windows 11 Clipboard vs Edge Drop


"Edge Drop is a clipboard manager that can also be used for some light file management. It stays tucked away on the left side of your screen until you swipe your mouse over it or use a keyboard shortcut (Alt + C).
...  Any item you copy on Windows 11 is added to Edge Drop by default. You can also drag items into Edge Drop."

"The developer of Edge Drop, AdiArtist, shared the app on Reddit.  You can download Edge Drop through the app's website and read more about it on GitHub."

"Windows 11 already has a robust, built-in clipboard history that you can summon with Win + V. It supports pinning items, syncing across devices, and has been an integral part of my workflow for years. Even with Edge Drop installed, I'm not abandoning it.  
Where Windows 11's clipboard is heavily keyboard-driven, Edge Drop is more built for the mouse."
