clipboard
The WebExtensionclipboard API (which is different from thestandard Clipboard API) enables an extension to copy items to the system clipboard. Currently the WebExtensionclipboard API only supports copying images, but it's intended to support copying text and HTML in the future.
The WebExtensionclipboard API exists primarily because the standard Clipboard APIdoesn't support writing images to the clipboard. The WebExtensionclipboard API may be deprecated once the standard Clipboard API's support for non-text clipboard contents has entered general use.
Reading from the clipboard is not supported by this API, because the clipboard can already be read using the standard web platform APIs. SeeInteracting with the clipboard.
This API is based on Chrome'sclipboard API, but that API is only available for Chrome apps, not extensions.
To use this API you need the"clipboardWrite" extensionpermission.
