Generate ServiioLinks popup copy process

[Former user]

Currently the ServiioLinks popup simply offers an OK button which really has no value. Also the generated link does not highlight, and it must be manually highlighted before it can be copied, and further when running ServiioConsole.exe the right chick context menu is not available and one must know enough to use ctrl+c. It would be better to provide a "copy" button to automatically copy the serviiolink to the clipboard and eliminate all that, and a "return" button if no action is required.

It's not possible to access the clipboard in browser / JavaScript, so this is not doable.

How about this as an alternative. It addresses the lack of a context menu for copying as well and shows the simple user what to do.

From Stack overflow

Automatic copying to clipboard may be dangerous, therefore most browsers (except IE) 
make it very difficult. Personally, I use the following simple trick:
function copyToClipboard(text) {
  window.prompt("Copy to clipboard: Ctrl+C, Enter", text);
}

The user is presented with the prompt box, where the text to be copied 
is already selected. 
Now it's enough to press Ctrl+C and Enter (to close the box) -- and voila!

Now the clipboard copy operation is SAFE, because the user does it 
manually (but in a pretty straightforward way). 
Of course, works in all browsers.



<button id="demo" onclick="copyToClipboard(document.getElementById('demo').innerHTML)">This is what I want to copy</button>

<script>
  function copyToClipboard(text) {
    window.prompt("Copy to clipboard: Ctrl+C, Enter", text);
  }
</script>

I have no way of knowing if you have seen or reviewed this proposal. Please comment.

I've changed it to an enhancement since it is not a bug.
