@lapse12 Can't use clipboard API on the background script now. navigator.clipboard API doesn't exist.

So…you can exec on the browser(popup or content-scripts) or offscreen API or sendMessage hacks.

I'm gonna close this as it's not an issue with WXT, but a question about how to use the clipboard API in general.
