## Key points

- Gboard’s clipboard can hold several copied items.
- Pinned clipboard items remain available longer.
- Resize or move the keyboard for easier typing.

## Summary

Gboard includes several lesser-known tools that can make typing and moving content on Android more efficient. The article highlights its clipboard and keyboard layout options, which can help people handle multiple copied items and type more comfortably.

Gboard’s clipboard can store several text or image items for up to an hour, with pinned items kept longer; this makes pasting between apps easier, though copied sensitive information may pose a security risk. Clipboard syncing through tools such as Microsoft Phone Link or KDE Connect can extend this across devices, while keyboard resizing, repositioning and floating mode offer more flexible typing layouts.
