It's not a stretch. If you have a product that "real" people use and phone number for customer support, you will quickly learn the value of a copy-to-clipboard

  > If you have a product that "real" people use and phone number for customer support, you will quickly learn the value of a copy-to-clipboard feature Real people have being using regular select + copy operations on their device of choice, for literally decades. I honestly don't understand why every web app developer assumes that their user base is full of people that just picked up a device with a browser and have never used it before.

    We don't assume anything. We take calls from customers where they can't figure out how to copy and paste. We take calls where customers don't even know what a browser is, or a web page, or in some extreme cases how to select a textbox and type in it. Just because your customers (assuming you do web dev) can figure things out doesn't mean everyones' can.

    Unfortunately we've already received a lot of requests for click-to-copy in the app my company is building. I'd rather we didn't have to add it (because Flash), but we have to add it. People wouldn't add this feature (along with the bloated library required to make it possible) to their web apps if the demand wasn't there.
