Where is the Show Clipboard command in Catalina?

System clipboard fails to show up as dropdown under Edit in Catalina 10.15.6, at least for me.


What am I missing?


Thanks, Tom

The Finder has a Show Clipboard item in its Edit menu, and it works just fine for me in Catalina 10.15.6. If you haven't put anything on the clipboard via a copy activity such as selected text, or a filename, you may be confronted with an empty clipboard view. Apple has configured this Finder Show Clipboard so that it automatically changes text and background color to fit the appearance mode.


Alternatively, you can list the clipboard contents with the following Terminal command:


osascript -e 'the clipboard as record' | xargs -n 2
