How about adding ZeroClipboard functionality for easy clipboarding in e.g. Shiny apps?
See https://github.com/zeroclipboard/zeroclipboard

AFAIK this is what Github uses for its "copy-to-clipboard" functionality...

What you're describing sounds like a browser widget for Shiny that writes to the user's clipboard, not to the clipboard of the system actually running R. This seems like the territory of the browser interface, not server-side code. While that sounds useful, I think it is outside the bounds of this package.

Sort of -- in a shiny app you still need the server to communicate the clipboard content in a manner that the user can reach...

But fair enough (would have been nice)
