Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The ClipboardEvent.clipboardData property holds a DataTransfer object, which can be used:
- to specify what data should be put into the clipboard from the
cutandcopyevent handlers, typically with asetData(format, data)call; - to obtain the data to be pasted from the
pasteevent handler, typically with agetData(format)call.
See the cut, copy, and paste events documentation for more information.
