DeskAcross: One desk. Every computer.

Open Actions in DeskAcross settings to change what happens when you reuse a clipboard history item and which actions appear on it.

Choose how to paste from history

Open Actions → Paste Behavior.

Paste Behavior tab with two mouse button menus and switches for pasting plain text and file paths

Setting	What it controls
Left Mouse Button	Choose what happens when you click a history item with the left mouse button. Select Double-click to paste if you want a double-click to paste the item.
Middle Mouse Button	Choose what happens when you click a history item with the middle mouse button. Select Disabled to turn off that action.
Paste as Plain Text by Default	Strips HTML and RTF formatting when you paste text from history.
Paste File Paths by Default	Pastes paths for file items in place of the files themselves.

Change copy behavior and feedback

Open Actions → Copy Feedback.

Copy Feedback tab with plain-text copy, window hiding, reuse tracking, and copy sound switches

Setting	What it controls
Copy as Plain Text by Default	Strips HTML and RTF formatting when you copy a text item from history back to the clipboard.
Hide Window After Copy	Hides the clipboard window after you copy an item from history.
Update Record on Reuse	Refreshes the last-used time and usage count when you copy or paste a history item.
Copy Sound	Plays a sound when new clipboard content is saved to history.

If you want to remove formatting only when pasting directly from history, turn on Paste as Plain Text by Default in Paste Behavior.

Choose quick actions and delete protections

Open Actions → Quick Actions. Select Manage next to Visible Quick Actions to choose which buttons appear when you hover over a history item.

Quick Actions tab with the Manage button and separate controls for deletion permissions and confirmation prompts

Setting	What it controls
Confirm Regular Deletes	Asks before deleting a regular history item. Favorites and pinned items have their own confirmation settings.
Confirm Favorite Deletes	Asks before deleting a favorite when deletion is allowed.
Allow Favorite Deletes	Turn this off to hide delete actions and ignore delete shortcuts for favorites.
Confirm Pinned Deletes	Asks before deleting a pinned item when deletion is allowed.
Allow Pinned Deletes	Turn this off to hide delete actions and ignore delete shortcuts for pinned items.
Delete Favorites Only in Favorites	When enabled, hides delete actions for favorites outside the Favorites view. Regular items are unaffected.

If a delete button is missing, check whether the item is a favorite or pinned and review its Allow setting. For favorites, also check whether you're in the Favorites view.
