NOTE This function is only valid on the Windows, Android, MacOS, iOS, HTML5 and Opera GX targets.
On HTML5, clipboards are not supported on Firefox without the use of an extension, and are not supported on Internet Explorer at all.
Additionally, clipboard functionality may be affected by browser permissions and the user may need to allow clipboard permissions when prompted, otherwise the clipboard may not function.
