Utility Library to Access and Manipulate the Default System Clipboard

About

The inspiration for this project came from my frustration of macOS not having clipboard history built-in unlike Windows. This library will allow you to access the system clipboard and manipulate it.

Configuration

TODO

Windows / *Unix

This approach differs from the macOS section below as Windows/*Unix properly notify the program with global clipboard events. This allows for a more event-driven approach as lostOwnership() is triggered whenever the clipboard has lost ownership - clipboard has new content within it - and the contents can be observed by multiple consumers.

macOS

Unlike the aforementioned event-driven approach, macOS unfortunately is not very good at notifying the program if the system clipboard has changed. To query the system clipboard contents, we need to employ a polling schedule. I have chosen 350ms to ensure that images and large files can be copied over as well as reducing the load on the CPU.
