Monitor the clipboard to find words to add to the list

[ManiacDC]

Monitor clipboard: Whenever the clipboard changes, TypingAid would add its contents to its autocomplete database.

For monitoring the clipboard, I think that would only make sense if the item in your clipboard is a single word. I think this one should be do-able. I will add it to the future enhancements list. I guess it would also be possible to add each word from the text in the clipboard to the wordlist.

This should be a preference. Monitoring the clipboard would be pretty annoying otherwise.

Perhaps a better variation on this might be to provide a text input file TypingAid to process (example: the text from a recent essay or a dump of your recent emails) - processing it for words and frequency?

Having used my bulk learn functionality to teach/build my parent-child word relationship, if you decide to go ahead with the feature as defined originally, place a limit on the clipboard size or have the user confirm they want to do this, like in my POC. I'm running clipboard buffers of 1000s of words and it can take a while to digest all the words.
