Thanks for the link.

The text needs some clarification:
```
On Mac it's NSString
```
should be changed to
```
On Mac it's NSPasteboardType
```
`NSPasteboardType` is a typedef for `NSString`.

The text for Windows should include the type too; presumably that's an LPCSTR (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/nf-winbase-globalfindatoma)?
