Floating Button — Quick Clipboard Access Anytime
The Floating Button provides a persistent, always-on-top shortcut to your clipboard history. Tap it from any app to instantly view and use your recent clipboard entries.
Enable the Floating Button
- CrossPaste requires the "Display over other apps" permission. When you toggle the floating button on, you'll be prompted to grant this permission if it hasn't been granted already.
- Go to Settings in CrossPaste and enable the Floating Button toggle.
Usage
- Tap the floating button to view your latest clipboard item.
- Long-press and drag to reposition the button anywhere on screen.
- The button stays on top of all other apps for instant access.
Scenarios
- Multi-app switching: Quickly paste content when working across multiple apps.
- Reading and note-taking: Copy excerpts while reading and access them without leaving your reader app.
- Quick paste: One-tap access to your most recent clipboard entry.
Notes
- The floating button does not block the status bar or navigation bar.
- You can toggle it off at any time from CrossPaste settings.
- Some device manufacturers (OEMs) may have additional restrictions on overlay permissions. If the floating button does not appear, check your device's app permission settings.
