Abstract
An insertion feature is provided with a clipboard manager application. The clipboard manager application initiates operations to provide the insertion feature upon detecting a copy operation. In response, an item associated with the copy operation is stored. Next, a paste input is intercepted. A sample content of the item is rendered in a clipboard user interface (UI) for a selection. Upon detecting the item as selected, the item is inserted into a previously active application.
