This document outlines a proposal for the future of the
clipboardmodule provided by Electron.Over the course of the last few months, Chromium has been making significant changes to their Clipboard API, including the ability to handle Custom Formats. Electron has had to break small aspects of its clipboard API to account for this, and it's unclear what other changes we may be forced to adapt to as they continue this work. Beyond this, users have been asking for an improved Clipboard API as well as surfaced a number of bugs with its current implementation - the most detailed of which is here. Given this, @jkleinsc and i have put together a more streamlined proposal for its future.
