Copy image to clipboard

Seemingly, you can\'t (yet) programmatically copy an image to the clipboard from a JavaScript web app?

I have tried to copy a text in clipboard , and it\'s worked.<

Check out this guide to copying and pasting with JavaScript: https://www.lucidchart.com/techblog/2014/12/02/definitive-guide-copying-pasting-javascript/

According to this, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox all support copying images along with plain text, while IE only allows copying text. The page linked above describes how this service uses an extension to add this functionality to a context menu, but it appears that several browsers support programmatic copying of images.
