Clipboard functions. Copy, paste, get and set clipboard text and other data.
public static class clipboardRemarks
This class is similar to the .NET System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard class, which uses OLE API, works only in STA threads and does not work well in automation scripts. This class uses non-OLE API and works well in automation scripts and any threads.
To set/get clipboard data of non-text formats, use class clipboardData; to paste, use it with clipboard.pasteData; to copy (get from the active app), use it with clipboard.copyData<T>.
Don't copy/paste in windows of own thread. Call it from another thread. Example in keys.send.
