On the other hand, I think it’d make total sense to implement an optional mode that blocks programs’ ability to read the clipboard until the user explicitly approves them. I understand why some people might not want that (which is why I’d like it to be a setting), but it’s always felt a little weird that any program on desktop programs can grab the clipboard at will.
Things like making the clipboard “intelligent” might help too. On macOS there’s a bit of this when copying passwords from the system password manager, where the clipboard is cleared either after paste or after some short period of time to reduce chances of grabby programs pulling it.
