Clipboard Integration [SCRATCH SUGGESTION]

CraftedCart

I think that there should be a way to access the clipboard in scratch
Blocks that could be added include:

copy [text] to clipboard::sensing
(clipboard) //category=sensing

not unless the project has a “This project can access and write to your clipboard.” warning

That would be a good idea

I colord your script the right way.

Not a duplicate: This wants blocks, that wants to be able to c/p costumes, blocks, etc.

Yes. Your browser actually has a security feature for this too. It will pop up a dialog and you have to hit OK to give the website access to your clipboard.

What's the clipboard?

…
When you copy (RClick, copy / File, copy / CTRL + C), whatever you copied goes to the clipboard, which is stored on your computer
When you paste (RClick, paste / File, paste / CTRL + V), whatever was in the clipboard gets copied over to wherever you pasted

That's only for the Javascript clipboard API. Scratch uses Flash.

Can't you copy and paste into the ask block?

ask [] and wait

I don't know if it would be good to be able to put things on the clipboard, but I support reading from the clipboard as long as there is a warning.

Well you couldn't put text in there for the user to copy
Also, if we could use a block, it would be nicer for use in projects

You can use a list viewer to allow the user to copy text. I only support the blocks if they have a warning or an option to turn them off.

This function would help griffpatch with the save function on his paper minecraft. Make it easier

So no browsers will pop up a dialog for Flash accessing the clipboard?

Nope.

What's the point in this?

An example could be:
A project creates a string of text as a save/load code
The project writes to the clipboard, much nicer and sleeker than displaying a list and asking the user to RClick and Export
