Consider other keyword instead of "direct", like "unsafe"

Question

Consider other keyword instead of "direct", like "unsafe"

Opened this issue 4 years ago · 2 comments

"direct" is currently proposed as a keyword to specify pickled formats, to signify that this content is written "directly" to the system clipboard. "unsafe" could be preferable, to make clear that this content will not be sanitized, but would notably make it unclear what this content might be used for.

Per security feedback changed direct to unsanitize to describe type of the clipboard content.

Thanks, unsanitized sounds like a good improvement. It's more clear that data isn't changing before/after reaching the clipboard (unlike with other clipboard APIs)
