- A possible workaround would be to copy a series of SPACES or other characters to the clipboard when you want to "clear" it06-09-12 10:06 AMLike 0
- You can do this via SSH. Login in via SSH and delete /accounts/1000/clipboard/text.plain. You can SSH via "Playbook Connect" or "Dingleberry" (this works without rooting the PB) and once SSH is running, you can connect using WinSCP if you want a GUI for browsing files. (You could also do it via the SSH terminal offered by both Dingleberry and Playbook Connect).
You can also edit the file to change the contents of the clipboard.
(You can also view the file by typing file:///accounts/1000/clipboard/text.plain into the browser, but you can't delete or edit it from there.)
EDIT: If you want more info on how to connect via SSH, I outlined the steps in a bit more detail here: http://forums.crackberry.com/playboo...3/#post7447599
EDIT: Another, easier method:
Get Dingleberry or Playbook Connect. Run either and open an SSH terminal, and type the following:
Code:rm /accounts/1000/clipboard/text.plain

Your post got me thinking, and I found an easier way to do it. Open or download and open Ghost Commander, a free file browser in app world. From Home choose Local Storage, then navigate to, as sifjar said, accounts/1000/clipboard/text.plain. Choose the text.plain file and then "edit". A text editor will open with whatever is in the clipboard. Delete the text here, then swipe down from the top and choose "save". The clipboard will then be empty.06-09-12 02:32 PMLike 0
- OK. I didn't want to mess around with deleting the file, just in case. But I did notice that after deleting the text in the file, that when pressing and holding in a text input box, the "paste" option is not available. I assumed this meant that the clipboard was empty.06-09-12 02:55 PMLike 0
