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. -- Together, we solve problems without resorting to marketing gimmicks.
