Hi !
The spec for setData [1] states that this method when calling from a
cut/copy event sets new data on the clipboard. Unfortunately, this is
insufficient to implement the typical copy to clipboard button
It is indeed. However, you already have things like
document.execCommand('copy') for that.
So lets say I have one of features which let me copy to the clipboard a
snippet of html to embed a video for instance, to paste somewhere.
A script needs to create an element, put the contents inside, wrap a
selection around it, call execCommand('copy'), remove the element and
shift focus back to the button.
Seems a bit overkill. Are you really sure it can't be made simpler ? The
feature is there already, theoretically.
