For some reason, in this specific circumstance, I remembered that back in 2009 I used to have a fancy little clipboard app that allowed me to do this easily. \u201cDid this exist still?\u201d I wondered to myself.<\/p>\n<p>I did what any good online sleuth would in this situation and \u2014 here\u2019s the surprising part \u2014\u00a0<em>searched for it on Google.\u00a0<\/em>Take a second to appreciate my skills, please.\u00a0<em>Please<\/em>. I need this.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it turns out there\u2019s an in-built feature on Apple devices that allows you to copy and paste between them. And I had no idea. None, zero.
