Is there any way/tool to see what is currently in the Clipboard?

I'm familiarizing myself with Clipboard API in the browser. Now I thought it might be helpful if I could actually see what is currently in the Clipboard. Maybe extension for Developer Tools?

You can only access the clipboard data via the Clipboard API events, using event.clipboardData.getData('text/plain'). You can't access it via the window object (except in IE), due to the huge security risk of being able to access and modify the clipboard without the user knowing.
