The previous clipboard.js implementation used a hack to copy text to the clipboard which involved creating a temporary element, moving focus to it, selecting its text, and executing a "copy" command.
By switching to the new Clipboard APIs, clearing the selection and restoring focus may not be necessary — what do folks think?

I agree. If that's the case, we shouldn't need the focus handling. It's probably worth double checking that focus stays on the button after clicking it still :)

Previously, the different values for ref.current were handles by Clipboard's constructor

Taking a wild guess -- is the npm version the same? |

While the changes in this file are pretty convoluted, it is a deprecated hook after all. The changes in the other hook are a lot more palatable. :P I still think it's worth it to remove the dependency.

I had the same train of thoughts, and came to the same conclusion — refactoring this deprecated hook allows us to remove the dependency from the repo :)

Hi @ciampo it seems currently on the trunk the "Copy all content" button does not work at all (nothing happens when clicked, the button is the top options menu). The button to copy a block on the block elipsis menu also is not working. If I revert this PR it starts working again. |
