Copy to clipboard block

Techno-CAT

copy [] to clipboard

You can put text in there, you can put variables in there, you can put lists in there. It'd be a great idea especially for save codes, and useful for those on mobile and tablet who don't have access to keyboard copy and paste functions.

Yes, you can hold down on variable output, tap select all, hold down again and press select all and copy, but this inadvertedly picks up the sitemap, even when in fullscreen.

I made your scratchblocks better also there should be a cooldown because

forever
copy [] to clipboard ::control

Right, have the user confirm they would like to copy to clip. Same could be said for forum links, profile pictures, forum posts, upload image in editor, etc.

err, that can result in inadvertent things being added, such as ads and other fun stuff. it can also be annoying to paste what you were expecting to be an actual piece of text/image and it's some random person's creation

There will be a popup saying

Do you want to copy “text” to your clipboard? (Yes / No / Report!)

You should also be able to report it if someone tries copying something bad to your clipboard, so the text and the project id will be sent to the ST.

Max character limit should be 2000

That's smaller than even many save codes. Maybe 200,000?

Why a max limit so small? The Clipboard isn't stored on RAM

Yes, that would be better.

copy [] to clipboard

This block would be too long for very big level save codes.

Hence

copy (item (1 v) of [list v] :: list) to clipboard

where item 1 of list is the save code

If JavaScript has the power of accessing the current copied thing, there should be a

(current copied text ::sensing reporter)

reporter block. If the current copied thing is an image, it outputs blank.
These blocks should be in Sensing too.

However, this could be abused to clear the clipboard history (a feature in Windows 10) so the user can't recover their clipboard history, since the clipboard history has a limit:

when green flag clicked
reset timer
set [clipboard text v] to (current copied text ::sensing reporter)
forever
set [varTimer v] to ((timer) + (0.1))
copy [LIKE, FAV, FOLLOW!!! OR ELSE YOU ARE NOT PLEASED WITH GOOD LUCK!!] to clipboard ::sensing
end

when [timer v] > (varTimer)
if <(clipboard text) = []> then 
copy [AN IMAGE?????? OR NOTHING?????? USE YOUR CLIPBOARD FOR TEXT!!!!!] to clipboard ::sensing
else
copy (clipboard text) to clipboard ::sensing
end

No, privacy issues. People might've copied personal data onto the local clipboard when scratch can access this and encode it into a cloud variable.

Oh, right. It was a bad idea to suggest the reporter.

If isn't a bad idea if Scratch asks the user for permission every time the project wants to access the clipboard.

what happens if the clipboard block is in a forever loop?

This isn't a problem if the popup doesn't block interaction with the page.

no support, some people keep important things on their clipboard
