Description
Both Atom and VSCode are not supporting cmd-e correctly on macOS. There is a macOS API called NSFindPboard that gives you the content of a special paste shared across all apps. There is a way to shell out to get it but it would be nicer (and likely faster) if electron exposed it as an API in JS.
Issues:
- Atom: Atom doesn't respect/update OSX's find pasteboard / clipboard atom/atom#4650
- VSCode: Add support for macOS NSFindPboard as an action microsoft/vscode#11233
@orta wrote a little specification of what the API could look like which would solve both editor use cases: https://github.com/orta/electron/blob/orta-pasteboard/docs/api/pasteboard.md
Thanks!
