For the simple yes/no vote I'll add my voice as a heavy daily user of
the staff client that I prefer not to have an extra click.
Long term, however, I agree that the click link to copy is probably
very weird to new Evergreeners, and that a click to copy button or the
more standard highlight/control-v would likely seem more natural to
people.

Hi all,
Looking through the e-mail thread and the original LP bug, I counted
that:
8 people indicated that they would like an acknowledgement that the
text was copied.
7 indicated that they did not want the additional click.
7 indicated they wanted something else (3 of those 7 were also
counted above because they showed a preference for one approach over
another.)
I agree that it would be preferable to have a tooltip or a consistent
way to display an icon performs the action to copy to the clipboard.
But my follow-up question to those suggestions is if there is anyone
with the tuits to make it happen if we wanted to run with one of these
approaches.
In the case of the original question, it would be fairly easy to
revert this part of the code to its previous state, and I would be
willing to make the code changes if there was a large consensus to do
so (I'm not sure we really have that consensus at the moment.) But
that's about as far as my coding abilities go. :)
I am hopeful that, once we move to a web client, all of the standard
methods for copying and pasting will be available in the client
interfaces, eliminating the need for special Evergreen conventions for
copying this data.
Thanks for the feedback everyone!

How about just an option to turn alerting on or off? I know that I
generally don't want to be told when something succeeds. I generally
only care about failures.
