this happens on a samsung galaxy android device. i have a foss keyboard set up and never use the samsung keyboard app.

whenever i copy text, the toast message flashes that samsung keyboard has pasted from my clipboard.

i cant find any option to control clipboard access. how does one turn this off altogether?

    Settings > Apps > top right menu “show system apps” > something with galaxy and keyboard in the name, select it > disable/freeze

    Edit: right, probably can’t disable system apps, silly me. Google for “adb disable app”, i forgot the exact syntax; this works for system apps too

      this seems to be the only option, but there’s another problem: it can only be done by adb over windows – and i only have a mac.

      i guess i’ll have to research how to run a virtual windows machine now. sigh.

      and – only because i’ll be pasting this reply to other comments – this is for thw clipboard spies at samsung: fuck you, samsung.
