There are two ways for a web page to write to the system clipboard: the old, deprecated [`document.execCommand`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/execCommand) API and the newer [`navigator.clipboard.writeText`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard/writeText) API. (Only the newer API was broken in Chrome version 104.) The newer API is significantly easier for web pages to use, because the old `document.execCommand("copy")` requires `window.getSelection()` to have a range of text on the page selected first, which may require adding an HTML element to the DOM. Whereas `navigator.clipboard.writeText` can write any arbitrary text to the system clipboard with no preparation required.
