This shortcut is probably not in the Sharkvember list of shortcuts but for years I've loved the Append to Clipboard hotkey, insert+Windows+C. This is something that Windows should have as part of the OS and I'm so glad that JAWS allows for this.

@DavidGoldfield I love this shortcut! So glad you mentioned it. I use it pretty frequently! It's a little bit of finger gymnastics to do it, but I'm happy it's available.

@CreativeChris Yep, being able to append to the clipboard is incredibly convenient. You can also avoid the finger gymnastics by either reassigning the shortcut key or by just adding it to another key using the JAWS Keyboard Manager.

@DavidGoldfield Oh, that's brilliant! I never thought of reassigning the keyboard command to this. Awesome!

Also, you can append text to the clipboard with NVDA, using the same hotkey that JAWS uses for this function, if you install the Clip Contents Designer add-on from the add-on store via the NVDA menu. The add-on also lets you clear the contents of the clipboard as well as being able to view the contents of the clipboard. Hotkeys for this add-on can be reassigned or added to other keys by using NVDA's Input Gestures dialog, as it has a category for the Clip Contents Designer add-on once that add-on is installed.
Any NVDA user who needs to do a lot of clipboard management shouldn't be without this add-on. #NVDA

@payown @CreativeChris I should also mention that, if you want that newly modified keystroke to be available globally, don't forget to choose the default configuration from within Keyboard Manager by pressing shift+ctrl+D. You guys likely already know that but it's worth mentioning for those who are new to Keyboard Manager.
Also, as an odd keyboard shortcut, insert+8 (on the row of numbers) can be used to open Keyboard Manager; that one's been in JAWS for ages. It's a bit faster than the other ways of opening Keyboard Manager but it's not as intuitive. I still use it as it's one of the first ways I learned to open Keyboard Manager.
