How to copy to clipboard with GWT?

Question

Couldn\'t find anything on this with a Google Search.

Does anyone know how to copy some text to the clipboard through GWT Java code? I\'d like to avoid the raw javas

GWT doesn't natively support the $doc.execCommand('copy'); command, but it's super easy.

First set the focus on the item, select the text, then copy it.

myTextBox.setFocus(true);
myTextBox.selectAll();
boolean success = copyToClipboard();

private static native boolean copyToClipboard() /*-{
    return $doc.execCommand('copy');
}-*/;
