Apologies if I'm not supposed to post here, I'm not sure which is the correct venue. While the `execCommand()` API is appropriate for an editor or similar applications, it's rather cumbersome for the common "copy something I have in memory to the clipboard" made popular by zero clipboard. Helpful would be an API, that would allow - after an user action - setting any content to clipboard without intercepting some event. It would also make feature detection easier, `commandSupported()` seems to have several issues at least in Firefox and Chrome. I've never written any WebIDL, so this is probably horribly wrong, but I'd see the API something like this: ``` interface Clipboard { void setData(DataTransferItemList data); }; partial interface Window { [Replaceable] readonly attribute Clipboard clipboard; }; ``` --- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/clipboard-apis/issues/12
