Hello,

Recently on Meta I’ve seen a new “link copied” text when clicking a Share button, which is extremely useful. I’m not sure if it’s a plugin or a beta feature, but I’d live to see it in core, as I don’t see it on my dev site.

The only place that it’s lacking is the legacy menu. This:

I’d love to see it pop up if I click the link button twice, or right click it. Something like that would be useful to pop it up if I want to click th new topic button for example, or share to Twitter.

Yep, you’re right, I just found it in the “similar” sort too. I wish that’s appear in the composer too.
