Did you know about Windows 10 cloud keyboard feature which can be accessed by pressing windows key + V at the same time? Windows 10 received cloud keyboard feature after the 2018 Windows 10 October update. The cloud keyboard features a history of the text and images that you previously copied. You can also pin frequently used content and sync them across all your Windows devices, but you have to enable sync for this to happen.

Microsoft is working on the Swiftkey keyboard app, basically if you use this app then it will sync all your copied items to cloud which you can use to paste in desktops and other Windows 10 devices where you are logged in with Microsoft account, sounds something like Google Docs isn’t it? Whatever you copy are shared with all of your devices along with phones having the Swiftkey keyboard app.

Microsoft is testing Sync clipboard history to the cloud feature in the Swiftkey keyboard app and this will help surely make things easier than ever, suppose if you are reading something on your phone and you wish to see that webpage on your desktop then you just need to copy the URL from your phone and forget. When you log in to your desktop, press windows key + V, copy the URL and paste it in your browser and that’s it. Same goes to other text or numbers or even HTML code.

Microsoft was working on this since 2018 but the project was paused in between for some unknown reasons, but now they’ve started it again and this time these features are sure to come to your Windows.
