Summary

Implements HTTP-based clipboard copy and paste functionality for synchronizing the client/mobile clipboard with the server host clipboard.

Fixes #97

Changes

  • Added HTTP endpoints for clipboard copy and paste.
  • Added cross-platform host clipboard support for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
  • Added session-aware clipboard handling through the existing WebRTC connection.
  • Added client-side clipboard handling with HTTP/browser fallbacks.
  • Added support for large clipboard payloads up to 100,000 characters.
  • Improved macOS modifier handling for reliable Cmd+C / Cmd+V.
  • Added focused clipboard tests covering platform behavior, fallbacks, Unicode, special characters, and size boundaries.
  • Kept Nut.js limited to its existing input responsibilities.

Copy

Server host clipboard content is read after triggering the existing copy action and returned to the client over HTTP.

Paste

Client clipboard content is sent to the server over HTTP, written to the host clipboard, and pasted using the appropriate platform modifier.

For browsers where clipboard APIs are unavailable over plain HTTP, the existing fallback behavior is preserved.

Testing

  • npm run check
  • Tested clipboard edge cases including multiline text, Unicode, emojis, and large payload boundaries.
  • Verified the existing copy/paste behavior remains functional.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added copy and paste support through the system clipboard during active remote sessions.
    • Supports clipboard operations across macOS, Windows, and Linux environments.
    • Long text input and composition events now use clipboard transfer for improved reliability.
    • Increased the maximum supported text length to 100,000 characters.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of multi-character and unmapped keyboard input.
    • Enhanced modifier-key combinations and Unicode text entry on macOS.
    • Improved reliability of remote clipboard synchronization and fallback behavior.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR adds authenticated client-to-host clipboard copy and paste flows, cross-platform system clipboard support, session ID exposure from WebRTC, longer text limits, and updated keyboard injection behavior for Linux, Windows, and macOS.

Changes

Clipboard synchronization and input handling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session identity and handler access
src/hooks/useWebRtcStream.ts
The WebRTC hook tracks activeSessionId, clears it during reconnects, and returns it to consumers.
Host clipboard implementation and endpoints
src/server/clipboard.ts, src/server/siginalling/server.ts, src/server/constants.ts, src/server/clipboard.test.ts
The server supports macOS, Windows, and Linux clipboard commands. Authenticated copy and paste routes use the active session and enforce the 100000-character limit. Tests cover platform commands, fallbacks, failures, and capacity boundaries.
Client clipboard and long-text flow
src/routes/trackpad.tsx
The trackpad route uses browser clipboard APIs with a fallback, sends authenticated clipboard requests, and falls back to DataChannel messages. Long and composed text use the paste endpoint.
Platform keyboard input behavior
src/server/drivers/linux/keyboard.ts, src/server/drivers/windows/keyboard.ts, src/server/drivers/mac/keyboard.ts, src/server/drivers/mac/structs.ts
Unknown non-empty keys become text input. macOS combo events apply modifier flags, and shifted or unmapped text uses Unicode injection.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 77e7b

The PR adds HTTP clipboard synchronization, but current behavior can drop paste data on HTTP errors, paste stale host clipboard contents after write failures or empty clipboard values, and mishandle some Unicode text and modifier combinations. These are user-visible correctness failures across supported platforms, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed.

Fall back when the paste endpoint returns a non-success status.

Both calls only handle network rejection. fetch resolves for HTTP 400 and HTTP 500. If the session is unavailable or the host clipboard write fails, the handlers reset the input and drop the text.

Check response.ok and throw for a non-success response so the existing DataChannel fallback sends the text.

Proposed fix pattern
-				fetch("/api/clipboard/paste", {
+				void fetch("/api/clipboard/paste", {
 					method: "POST",
 					headers: {
 						...headers,
 						"Content-Type": "application/json",
 					},
 					body: JSON.stringify({
 						sessionId: activeSessionId,
 						text: textToSend,
 					}),
-				}).catch(() => {
-					broadcastMessage({ type: "text", text: textToSend })
-				})
+				})
+					.then((response) => {
+						if (!response.ok) throw new Error("Clipboard paste failed")
+					})
+					.catch(() => {
+						broadcastMessage({ type: "text", text: textToSend })
+					})

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Test the endpoint truncation instead of local slicing.

This test truncates oversizedText in the test and passes the result to setSystemClipboard. It passes even if src/server/server.ts stops enforcing MAX_TEXT_LENGTH.

Add an endpoint test that submits 100,001 characters and asserts that the mocked setSystemClipboard receives exactly 100,000 characters.

As per path instructions, tests must not be tautological.

Microsoft SendInput KEYEVENTF_UNICODE UTF-16 surrogate pair wScan official documentation

💡 Result:

Official Microsoft documentation for the SendInput function and the associated KEYBDINPUT structure specifies that when the KEYEVENTF_UNICODE flag is used, the wScan member of the KEYBDINPUT structure is used to specify a UTF-16 code unit [1][2]. While the official documentation does not explicitly detail the procedure for handling UTF-16 surrogate pairs (characters beyond the Basic Multilingual Plane, U+FFFF), it is a widely recognized technical requirement that such characters must be sent as individual UTF-16 code units [3][4][5]. Because each surrogate is a 16-bit value, you must treat the high surrogate and the low surrogate as separate keystroke events [3][4]. To send a single character represented by a surrogate pair using SendInput: 1. Break the character into its high surrogate and low surrogate components [6][4]. 2. For each surrogate, create a separate INPUT structure [3]. 3. Set the dwFlags member to KEYEVENTF_UNICODE [1][3]. 4. Set the wScan member to the specific surrogate value [3][2]. 5. Ensure the wVk member is set to 0 [1][2]. When synthesizing these events, it is standard practice to send both surrogates in the "down" state (without KEYEVENTF_KEYUP), followed by both surrogates in the "up" state (with KEYEVENTF_KEYUP), or to process them as pairs of press/release events depending on the target application's input handling [3][7][4]. Failure to handle both surrogates correctly will result in the character failing to appear or being rendered incorrectly, as the Windows input system relies on these UTF-16 code units to reconstruct the full Unicode character [6][3].

Preserve an empty client clipboard value.

An empty string skips setSystemClipboard, then the handler pastes the previous host clipboard value. This violates the client-to-host clipboard contract.

If body.text is a string, write it even when it is empty. Update src/routes/trackpad.tsx to submit the empty string after navigator.clipboard.readText() succeeds. Reserve the server-clipboard fallback for clipboard-read failures or unavailable browser APIs.

Sensitive Data Exposure (CWE-319): Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate

Restrict clipboard synchronization to encrypted transport.

On a non-loopback HTTP origin, the clipboard payloads and bearer token travel in cleartext. Allow these requests only over HTTPS, or use an encrypted WebRTC data channel.

Sensitive Data Exposure (CWE-319): Cleartext Transmission of Sensitive Information

Reachability: External · Exploitability: Moderate

Do not send bearer credentials over non-loopback HTTP.

The documented remote flow uses http://<YOUR_PC_IP>:3000, so this same-origin request sends the reusable token in cleartext. Require HTTPS before attaching Authorization, or use a channel that does not carry the bearer token.

Remove the duplicate lastReportedLatencyMs declaration.

The second const redeclares the same identifier in one scope. TypeScript cannot compile this module until one declaration is removed.

Replace server: any with an explicit server contract.

attachSignalingRoutes uses server.httpServer and server.middlewares.use(...) for Vite, or raw HTTP listener methods for Nitro. any removes type checking for these properties and violates the TypeScript guideline. Define a structural type or overloads for both paths.

In `@src/hooks/useWebRtcStream.ts`:
- Line 447: Update the successful WebRTC offer-response flow to call
setActiveSessionId with sid after the handshake response is received, alongside
the existing sessionIdRef.current assignment. Preserve the reset behavior and
ensure clipboard requests use the stored active session ID.
- Line 34: Update the error-message construction in the useWebRtcStream
signaling failure path to validate that err is a non-null object before
accessing its error property. Preserve the existing fallback to res.statusText
or res.status for invalid, missing, or empty payloads.
