I am making a chrome extension where I need to add data to user’s clipboard , so that he/she only needs to press cmd + V / ctrl + V to paste, wherever they want.
Its only about Chrome, no browser compatibility required.
Can I do it with JS ?
Chrome used to have this support by default, but security changes to Webkit prevented it, even for extensions. It sounds like it is possible with a workaround though, described here:
