How to access the Chromebook clipboard
To access the clipboard, press the Search/Launcher and V keys at the same time. The Launcher key, also referred to as the “Capslock” or “Search” key is located between the “Tab” and “Shift” keys. Once you pressed the shortcut, a window would appear showing you the five most recent copies, including text, pictures, and screenshots.
Although you can see them, you cannot copy any item directly from the clipboard. In its current form, the clipboard on Chromebook is really just an informational tool. But perhaps Google will add more functions in the future.
How to remove a clipboard
To remove an item from the clipboard, just hover above the item and click the (x) Remove button. Another way to clean the clipboard is by restarting or signing off from the device.
