Description

You press y but has anything happened? We can:

  • Add visual popup, maybe use GitHub's own clipboard element

Test URLs

Any page, particularly it should work copy the permalink when y is pressed on:

https://github.com/refined-github/refined-github/blob/main/.gitignore

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the 'y' key handler in the extension's content script, then add a visual popup using GitHub's clipboard element after the copy action.
