Without a second...

What is the copy event in HTML?
oncopy?And if you can use the copy event to write data, can you use it to read data as well?
Yes,
oncopyis the HTML equivalent.Reading is only possible within a
pasteevent.Is it possible in a copy event, or no?
If so, do you know why they made the decision to leave out reading from copying events?
According to Mozilla docs, reading is not possible within the copy event. As for why it's disabled, I think the content is written to the clipboard AFTER the event is finished, because in order to change the clipboard data you need to cancel the events default action. So if you could read within the copy event, you would be able to read the old clipboard data, which is a security issue. I don't have any sources that confirm this however.
There is a way for websites to read the clipboard, which involves using the navigator. But if a website tries to do this, you will get a popup asking you for permission.
A previous team leader also warned of Unicode supporting editors and a toggle of hidden characters. Somehow being able to mark a sequence of characters as non-printing yet pasted into code, may still be valid code. I never explored it much but it still got me the habit of pasting code from external sources through a reduced character-set (ASCII) for validation.
This was really informational, so for that, you get a heart, AND a unicorn.
Thanks for the post.
This post caught me off guard tbh. fortunately never happened, but could've been me indeed.
Also, something worth mentioning during next retrospective:
'My clipboard ate my root folder'
When the "my dog ate my homework" excuse no longer works :D
Nice write-up and cool extension. I've made horrific mistakes with pasting into the terminal in the past.
