Ask HN: Useful Keylogger for Recall

3•atmanactive•4mo ago
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

I suspect any such thing would be a bit messy unless it comprehended mouse actions as well.

One might type into a box, click another, and continue typing.

Even harder is to deal with “typing replaces selection” scenarios.

Great insight, thank you. Yes, so, the splitting engine would have to be really flexible and sophisticated, listening to not just the keystrokes but also to mouse clicks.
