Is there a way we can add a 'Copy to Clipboard' button in Confluence?

Bosco Fernandes January 7, 2015

I have a lot of content in confluence, like knowlegebase articles as well as form data that currently end users need to select the text and then copy and paste it wherever needed, I wanted to know if there is a way we can have a 'Copy to Clipboard' button that 'one-click' will select the desired text to be copied in to the system clipboard.

I think a quick way could be to use Code boxes for the portion of copy-able text. The code-boxes are inherently having the copy-to-clipboard inherently.

yes but they do not have word wrap, this is really annoying. I would love a feature called "word wrap" in the Code box Module. That would solve our problem with that.

For me, they don't show this inherent copy-to-clipboard functionality.

Hey Bosco,

I think there is no easy way.

There is only a plugin for JIRA: Copy to Clipboard

There has been a issue, but only for the code macro: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-14100

Maybe this question helps: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/14745

I tried the step mentioned by you, however I am unable to see the macro in the macro browser. I'm the admin on confluence. Can you provide more assistance?

Hello, I am going to build macro for Confluence as well

I have been selecting blocks of text in Confluence, then right-click and choose "copy". Will this work for you? Seems to come across very cleanly to just about any other application

Jira supports this for copying the Jira URL plus this is common for things like sharing code. This question/request is 5+ years old is this functionality now supported in Confluence?
