   My clipboard is seamless between Android & Windows (over Wi-Fi or USB).   
      
   I just skimmed the other posts in this thread, some of which suggest what I   
   consider limited solutions, and others propose adding software to Android,   
   which I will state is NOT NEEDED when you use the method in the tutorials.   
      
   Only Windows needs a tool added for clipboard interoperability in the   
   method I have been using and documenting here (for both Wi-Fi & USB).   
      
   Note that the FOSS Windows scrcpy tool does not sync clipboards by   
   itself. It forwards keyboard events. The method is indeed trivial   
   and uses only FOSS tools (scrcpy/adb) with no cloud identity needed.   
      
   Note that the keyboard works in all cases (as tested just now).   
      
   When I wish to copy the clipboard from Windows to Android:   
   a. I select the text on Windows using the Windows keyboard control+c   
   b. I paste into Android using the Windows keyboard control+v   
      
   When I wish to copy the clipboard from Android to Windows:   
   A. I select the text using the left mouse drag which pops up a copy menu   
   B. I paste the text into Windows using the keyboard control+v   
      
   I am adding this clarification because my finger memory knows it well,   
   but my main brain did not say it earlier because the steps are only   
   ingrained into my fingers.   
      
   All of this has been written up on this newsgroup so many times already   
   that I'm surprised the question is being asked again after all that effort.   
   --   
   There is no reason Windows & Android should not interoperate seamlessly.
