Hello, thank you for developing Kutt.

I just would like to request if you can add a feature wherein on the Settings, you can enable an option wherein once the link has been shortened, it's automatically copied to your clipboard.

That way, the user only needs to paste the shortened link easily.

Hello there, this has already been done in the previous version(v3) of Kutt, but was removed in V4 due to some concerns regarding how web extensions should work.

It is recommended to access or manipulate clipboard state with a user interaction(mouse click or something else). In the previous version the interaction was mocked and auto copied to clipboard.

Anyways, the version was released a couple of weeks ago, and I will keep this issue open for further discussions.

Also, the url is copied to clipboard on button click as well clicking on the shortened url.

@poeti8 what do you think?

If it's convenient and doesn't cause problems when we publish the store, we can add the option to settings so they can enable.

I would love it if just clicking the extension symbol automatically created a link and copied it to my clipboard, not even opening the window. One click instead of 3
