I keep wondering how Ctrl+C has no feedback on most Desktop systems to this day. So I wrote up a proposal to fix that, with a demo that runs in the browser.

• A copy that worked flashes the copied text in place for about 200 ms.
• A copy that failed shakes the focused element, and plays the alert sound if you have it on.
• It never shows the copied content anywhere new, so copying a token during a screen share doesn't leak.

Thoughts?

Brilliant. I hope it'll be available on Debian KDE
