It would be wonderful to be able to read/write data to and from the clipboard. (ie: To be able to have copy/paste functionality in Corona apps). Or just to send any variable/string to the clipboard.
I guess this probably goes along with the many requests for more advanced text-input – but I’m hoping that the functionality to read and write to the clipboard is a separate API, which can be used without the text box. …So that any kind of generated text/numeric data would be writable to the clipboard for pasting in another app – and text/numeric data copied in other apps, could be accessible from Corona.
I’d love to have this feature, just pasting to the clipboard from Corona would be ok.
Something like setToClipboard(string)… and possibly working also with binary data like images. [import]uid: 9158 topic_id: 9615 reply_id: 51464[/import]
I’d really like to have some way to paste a text string into the clipboard… it shouldn’t be too hard to add this function. [import]uid: 9158 topic_id: 9615 reply_id: 69060[/import]
I’m astonished this isn’t included yet in the Corona lib. I’m scanning the forums for any way to send a text message from my app for sharing some links, thought this might be the solution, but crushed by the lack of support in Corona again… ARG
Hey everyone, forum posts get buried pretty fast, and depending on our priorities sometimes feature request from the forum stick and sometimes they don’t.
What DOES stick, however, are bug reports (which can also be used to submit feature requests).
Be sure to label it as a feature request, and describe all the reasons why it should be included, use-cases, etc. (that will help us prioritize better). Seems like a lot of folks want this one, so perhaps linking to this thread would help as well.

I’m getting really frustrated about not getting any answers when it comes to feature requests.
This feature that people have been asking for for over 7 month, is still not available in the SDK.
People really want this function, including myself, and it feels like it shouldnt take that long time to implement.
I know there are other priorities, but you should be able to squeeze in these small features now and then.
I currently have no need for this function myself but I can see why lots of people want it and surely it wouldn’t take a skilled engineer more than a few hours to implement on a Friday afternoon.
