Clipboard history

With Windows 10, build 17666, Windows comes with the ability to historize items from the Clipboard.
This «feature» needs to be enabled, for example with PowerShell: 
$eatMe = new-itemProperty -path 'HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Clipboard' -name EnableClipboardHistory -propertyType DWord -value 1 -force
Github repository about-Windows-Registry, path: /HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Clipboard/enable-clipboard-history.ps1
After history has been enabled, the historized items can be accessed with the Win+v shortcut.

Accessing the clipboard from the command line

clip.exe allows to put text into the clipboard in the command line (cmd.exe or PowerShell).
The specific PowerShell commands set- and get-clipboard allow to read and write into the clipboard: 
set-clipboard 'some text'
get-clipboard
