The copy event is fired when the user initiates a copy action through the browser UI (for example, using the CTRL/Cmd+C keyboard shortcut or selecting the "Copy" from the menu) and in response to an allowed document.execCommand('copy') call.
General info

- Interface
ClipboardEvent- Bubbles
- Yes
- Cancelable
- Yes
- Target
Element: the focused element (forcontentEditableelements - the element containing the start of the selection), or the<body>element.- Default Action
- See below.
A handler for this event can modify the provided ClipboardEvent.clipboardData object by calling setData(format, data):
document.addEventListener('copy', function(e){
e.clipboardData.setData('text/plain', 'Hello, world!');
e.clipboardData.setData('text/html', '<b>Hello, world!</b>');
e.preventDefault(); // We want our data, not data from any selection, to be written to the clipboard
});
A handler for this event cannot read the clipboard data using clipboardData.getData().
The event's default action depends on the source of the event and the handler's behavior:
- A synthetic copy event does not have a default action; otherwise
- If the event was not cancelled: copies the selection (if any) to the clipboard;
- If a handler cancelled the event and called
setData(): copies the contents ofclipboardDatato the clipboard; - If a handler cancelled the event without calling
setData(): no action.
