Clipboard > Merging no longer available

[sccsaluda]

The clipboard merging feature (cmd + c + c) no longer works after upgrading to the new MBP with the M1 processor. I tried Clearing the clipboard history but this didn't help. The dialogue box shows that the option is checked (ON) but the text is greyed out so I can't toggle it ON or OFF. See attached screenshot.

 

 

Is this a known problem? Any suggestions to restore this feature which I use often?

 

Thanks

FIXED:

 

Apparently, the setting to enable the clipboard was turned off in the Migration process from old computer to new. The fix was simple. Turn On the Clipboard History!

@sccsaluda  That's correct; features like Clipboard History and Snippets auto-expansion need to be enabled on your new Mac, as well as granting permissions for Accessibility.  Glad you worked it out

 

You can see the full list of preferences that are non-synced to allow you to have different settings on one Mac to another:
