HTML5 In-game "copy" text to paste in another program?

[SVG]

Pretty easy to understand question, but not sure if it's possible.

I basically want to do the same thing as the clipboard_set_text function.

Currently those clipboard functions are only good for Windows target only. Is it possible to do something similar for HTML5 target?

Note: This game will be played in the web HTML5 target by PC, Mac, Mobile.

Easy way around: get_string with your text as "default" will bring up a prompt box

Hard way around: custom HTML dialog box or restyle the built-in one (get_string_async) till it looks like what you want

This really does help, it is a work around! Thank you!

Okay yeah 1st one definitely was quick and easy. They will have to copy it themselves though, which is fine. In the end I would like to have a button that copies the string like Ctrl+C for them, just for ease of use. Makes it even easier and quicker when someone is using their phone.

So real quick where would I look into customizing the built-in one? Maybe just a point in the right direction if it's not too big of a deal, would be greatly appreciated.

If nothing else, just how to change the part that says the IP address. If I can at least change that then this will work pretty well for now. (See pic from last post, the "127.0.0.1:51264 says" I would love to change to something else).

If I need to create a new post then I'll do that.

By adding a custom index.html template with custom CSS. Check out the built-in one by doing "show source" via browser developer tools.

IP address

When uploaded it will show your website URL. This is a security measure so that iframes (such as ads) can't bait the viewer for their credentials on the containing site.

You will likely have to write your own JS extension if you really want this to work. There are JS API's available to edit the users' clipboard; https://jsfiddle.net/alvaroAV/a2pt16yq/
