Ask HN: Is Win10 catching my recent keyboard input?

1 points by Elect2 6 years ago | 1 comment

In a text editor (I tested sublime text3 and Sticky Notes), type any color name, example: "red". Then open Web browser and google search "color picker", the initial color is "red".

Then close the web page. Try again type another color like "blue" in editor, then open google search "color picker", it will show "blue".

Why?

I tested the https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=color%20picker and when refreshing the page it shows one of 4 colors: blue, red, green, yellow-ish/orange. It's likely that by pure chance (1 of 4) you saw those.
