Copy on one computer, move the pointer to the other, and paste there. BukDesk calls this "The clipboard follows the pointer".
Steps
- Copy as usual: Ctrl+C.
- Move the pointer to the other computer.
- Paste: Ctrl+V.
Text, formatted text and pictures go this way, up to 64 MB. Files and folders do too: see Files and folders.
When the clipboard moves
The clipboard goes only when the pointer goes. A computer cannot put something on your clipboard while the pointer is somewhere else. That is on purpose: what is on the clipboard is what your next paste uses.
What stays behind
Content that the program you copied from marks as private stays on its computer. BukDesk honours the marks Windows has for this: the ones that keep content out of clipboard history and out of the cloud clipboard. Password managers use them.
Over the internet
Copied text goes with the pointer over the internet too, once you approved control. Files do not.
Turning it off
The "Sharing" switch turns the clipboard off together with the mouse and keyboard. An organization can turn off the clipboard alone: see Group Policy.
