Explainer https://github.com/explainers-by-googlers/clipboard-contents-id Specification None Summary An API exposing a unique identifier of the current system clipboard contents. It is a supplement to the current Async Clipboard API and enables websites leveraging clipboard access to detect clipboard content changes much more efficiently. Blink component Blink>DataTransfer <https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=customfield1222907:%22Blink%3EDataTransfer%22> Motivation The only somewhat reliable way to monitor clipboard changes is polling it at regular intervals - which is usually not efficient, especially in case of big contents' size. There already exists a proposal that aims to make this better - clipboardchange event - but the functionality there makes it difficult to differentiate changes done externally from those originating from the app itself, as is the common occurrence in the Virtual Desktop Infrastructure clients. Leveraging any one - and preferably both of those APIs - would make current heuristics for clipboard monitoring much better. We'll be working with the Web Editing Working Group and the clipboardchange event proponents to ensure the full system is coherent.
