Copy command button
On copy, a selection highlight sweeps across the command and the icon turns into a check that draws itself.

Where to use it
A copy to clipboard button is one of those details people notice when it is missing. It belongs next to the install command in your docs, an API key in a dashboard, a discount code in an email landing or a referral link. The sweep over the text shows exactly what was copied, and screen readers hear “Copied”.
Browsers only allow copying on HTTPS pages; on plain HTTP the animation plays but nothing is copied. Long commands get cut off with an ellipsis; if yours is long, give the box more width. The green check reads as success almost everywhere.
