Greetings fellow humans.

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!

An OS agnostic solution would be a keyboard hardware keylogger [1]. I have no idea who sells a modern version but I'm sure they must still exist. I used them extensively in the past to see if anyone was screwing with my computer. Some of them can transmit over bluetooth or wifi to download stored keystrokes.

Example [2] never tried this one

Sounds like you’re asking for a “mind-reading keyboard” at this point. Honestly, at this rate, I’d just hire a tiny army of angels to remember everything you type — with a bit of Angel Healing sprinkled in to keep them calm while they do it.
