Ask HN: Useful Keylogger for Recall
I'm looking for a way to quickly recall text snippets I typed few minutes earlier that I DIDN'T add to clipboard.
Clipboard recall tools are abundant, and they are all, more or less, working great.
But now, I am looking for the same thing on a keystroke level. In other words, I am looking for a non-malicious keylogger that could auto-split the stream of keystrokes on ENTER keycode, and/or user-adjustable timeout, and would present a list of snippets by pressing a special shortcut. From there, a simple double-click on the item would copy it to clipboard.
So, a typed text history tool of sorts.
A keyboard recall tool.
A hybrid between clipboard recall and a keylogger.
Was searching on Github, couldn't find any.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

One might type into a box, click another, and continue typing.
Even harder is to deal with “typing replaces selection” scenarios.
