the copy clone link to clipboard button of git does not work if clicked on using hints mode.

If I click on this button with mouse it works but with hint mode it doesn't:

<clipboard-copy value="https://github.com/philc/vimium.git" aria-label="Copy to clipboard" class="btn btn-sm" tabindex="0" role="button">

@aranmohyeddin I've been having the same issue (with Firefox and OSX). Have you found a solution to this? I'm amazed that this issue has not been responded to yet.

Updated: this issue is because on Firefox GitHub calls navigator.clipboard, but it refuses to copy data if not during a KeyboardEvent or MouseEvent.

I just reproduced it on my Firefox+Win10, and the only error message is "uncaught exception" on console, without any details. I'll do more tests in a few days. But as you can see Vimium is being developed very slowly, and some bug fixes are still not merged.

The below is an AD: you may try my "Vimium C" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/vimium-c), and I've confirmed that it supports the clipboard button.
