Browser-laptop: about:brave page should have "copy to clipboard" button

Created on 22 Nov 2016  Â·  12Comments  Â·  Source: brave/browser-laptop

I like the recent change to version info. It looks cleaner than presenting a dialog. One downside though is that selecting and copying the info gives me this:

Brave 0.12.10
Muon 1.4.26
libchromiumcontent 53.0.2785.143
V8 5.3.332.47
Node.js 6.5.0
Update Channel dev
os.platform linux
os.release 4.8.0-27-generic
os.arch x64

It might be better to add a "copy to clipboard" button which provides something slightly easier to scan when pasted into issue tickets:

Brave: 0.12.10
Muon: 1.4.26
libchromiumcontent: 53.0.2785.143
V8: 5.3.332.47
Node.js: 6.5.0
Update Channel: dev
os.platform: linux
os.release: 4.8.0-27-generic
os.arch: x64

That's basically the text content format of the old dialog.

looks good to me. I will go with this design as of now unless somebody recommends something else.
Thanks @bradleyrichter

5693 should be able to cover this as well

This is a great idea- we're already integrated with a clipboard library, this should be a slam dunk :smile:

I am trying to get my feet wet with brave code. Can I work on this issue and send my first PR?

@gyandeeps that would be awesome! I can help you along the way :smile:

@bradleyrichter do you have a recommendation of how a "copy to clipboard" button would look? (and where it may go in relation to the current about:brave screen)?

_edit_:
I'm guessing we could just use FontAwesome (which we're already integrated with). Would be just adding some class names to the button (maybe the clipboard one here?)

That FA icon is perfect.
