Cross-platform stateless clipboard experiences

Abstract:

In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for assisting with cross-platform copy and paste operations are provided. A first and second computing device may be connected. When a copy command is received in relation to an object, the object may be copied to the copying device's clipboard. Metadata describing the object may be sent to the other device. A paste command may be received by the pasting device and that command may be relayed to the device where the copy command was received. The object may be sent from the copying device to the pasting device and injected/pasted directly into the construct where the paste command was received. The object may be translated into a compatible format prior to its injection/pasting.
