Re: [w3c/clipboard-apis] Support for delayed clipboard data (#41)

>That makes me think of Chrome Remote Desktop, which could make use of a delayed clipboard the other way. Right now, I believe reads the clipboard every time you switch the app, and pushes that to the remote computer. If it had a clipboard listener whose handler could asynchronously query for formats it could also benefit from those OS mechanisms, right?

The remote Chrome instance would have to block whatever thread processes the clipboard data request until it receives the data from the local Chrome instance. It is probably doable, but network latency could be a problem.
