I am looking to write a program (in Delphi or C++) to protect my passwords, and I would like to be able to copy and paste them. Is it possible to copy and paste, per se, without the data going to the clipboard, sort of my own custom clipboard?
I want to be able pull the password from an encrypted database and post it to my bank website, email, online games, etc., without using the clipboard as an extra precaution against keyloggers and the like.
You can inject keyboard keystrokes into other applications without using the clipboard. But then you would not be using Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V or Ctrl+Insert/Shift+Insert as your hotkey.
Maybe you want another global hotkey (yes you can do that) that will find the currently focused window, and send keystrokes to it. You can do that.
For reference.
