Hi Herbert,

Oooops. I made a brain-memory error that my 'finger-memory' just corrected!

Just to clarify, my "muscle memory" (aka "finger memory") is more accurate
than my main-brain memory, as I just ran the shockingly-trivial process of
copying and pasting between Windows & Android where the steps are actually

When I wish to copy the clipboard from Windows to Android:
a. I select the text on Windows using control+c (or rightmouse > copy)
b. I paste into Android using control-v (not rightmouse > paste)

When I wish to copy the clipboard from Android to Windows:
A. I select the text using the APK-specific "copy" mechanism
   (often that's an Android "select > drag endpoints > copy" mechanism)
B. I paste the text into Windows using control+v (or rightmouse > paste)

Apologies that I misspoke prior due to finger memory being ingrained, where
when I tried to "control+v" paste into a random Android app, it took the
input as an Android command, and not a paste, so I apologize for the error.

In summary, I'm actually surprised this question is even being asked since
it was solved on this newsgroup so many times already I can't count them.
