Feedback for copy/paste/cut
Copying/pasting/cutting using the system clipboard is very common, yet as an experience it's quite bare bones and doesn't feel very considered (likely in part because it's so common). Issues include
- There is no feedback from the system, which is especially bad for copying, since it doesn't produce an immediate effect
- It's impossible to know what's in the clipboard unless you paste it
- You can copy all kinds of different content, but not all apps support pasting everything that can be copied
I'd be interested in looking into ways to improve this, for example:
- System level feedback e.g. a notification style thing saying "'foo bar' copied to clipboard"
- Visualizing clipboard content somehow, perhaps including history
- Better feedback around whether the content of the clipboard can be pasted in the current app/context
