Hi,

Coming from an add-on (once again):

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Windows 11'd modern keyboard, specifically clipboard history is treated as a browse mode document when it should be an application. This means browse mode is enabled when clipboard history opens. Among other things, this will not allow users to review clipboard item menu such as removing pinned items as browse mode will be engaged when moving away from clipboard history items.

Describe the solution you'd like

Similar to Skype, disable browse mode by default in modern keyboard.

Describe alternatives you've considered

None

Additional context

This affects Windows 11, not Windows 10. A solution is part of Windows App Essentials add-on.

Windows 11 clipboard history is treated as a web document rather than an application window. Among other things, this prevents access to clipboard menu such as removing pinned items. Therefore, disable browse mode by default.
