   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.
