Will there ever be an HTML5 Clipboard API? [closed]

Answer 1

this is just a support for html5 to allow setting clipboard with string data or other data on request from user. I'm not for screen capture into clipboard

Answer 2

Excellent post. +1 I'd like to see the app. But I think you've answered your own question with all the documentation.

You ought to petition the WHATWG, as what you say seems to be a good solution and it does not appear that they (the WHATWG) wish to create this standard for fear of clipboard dumping to capture (possibly) sensitive user data.
