Keep an eye on the apps that are using your clipboard

clipboard-watcher's Issues

Differentiate between 'App' and 'User' initiated clipboard actions possible?

Really interested in this concept, thanks for calling some attention to it.

I am wondering though, would it be possible to discern between user initiated paste actions through keyboard commands/mouse actions and the likes AND apps trying to get clipboard data on their own without user initiative?

If so it might be possible to allow the first but block the second, system-wide. Right?

Maybe even blocking access to the clipboard api by default for everything and then opening it for a fraction of a second when 'user input device' commands are detected and closing it up again when done.

clipboard-access-watcher would be a better name for this project

Usually, a clipboard-watcher like ClipQ watches for changes in clipboard content.
This project implements the functionality of watching accesses to clipboard, hence clipboard-access-watcher would be a better name.
