Notes
Internet Explorer will display a security prompt for access to the OS clipboard.
Chrome 42+, Opera 29+ and Firefox 41+ support clipboard reading/writing only when part of a user action (click, keydown, etc).
- Only supports `Text` and `URL` data types and uses a non-standard method of interacting with the clipboard.
↑
- Only fires `copy` event on a valid selection and only `cut` and `paste` in focused editable fields.
↑
- Only supports OS clipboard reading/writing via shortcut keys, not through `document.execCommand()`.
↑
- Only supports `paste` event (on focused editable field).
↑
- Does not support the `ClipboardEvent` constructor
↑
- Supports `cut` & `copy` events without a focused editable field, but not `paste` (presumably for security reasons)
↑
- Supports `cut` & `copy` events without a focused editable field, but does not fire `paste` with `document.execCommand('paste')`
