Clipboard API and events (https://w3c.github.io/clipboard-apis/) describes APIs for accessing data on the system clipboard. It provides operations for overriding the default clipboard actions (cut, copy and paste), and for directly accessing the clipboard contents.
There are text convenience methods `readText()` (https://w3c.github.io/clipboard-apis/#dom-clipboard-readtext) and `writeText()` (https://w3c.github.io/clipboard-apis/#dom-clipboard-writetext) that are hopefully non-controversial, and more advanced features that eventually provide raw clipboard access. It would be nice if WebKit could add at least the textual methods as their usage is growing: https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/2372.
