Should have the word Copy (or regional equivalent) on it in addition to the symbol.

Before I clicked it I didn’t 100% know it’s function and I’d imagine most users would have the same issue.

Also it should say something like “This API key was copied to your clipboard.”

Currently there doesn’t seem to be any feedback.

Oh, there’s a copy-to-clipboard button now. Thanks!

But why does it use flash?

I’d provide flash just as a fallback. I guess most of the gw2 players are using a modern browser.

Yeah, it’s the Page on Page icon next to the key. Problem is it could well be a duplicate key button since there isn’t even mouseover text clarifying- meaning I’d say most users resort to selecting and copying.

Ah yeah, that’s a good point. I need to send a batch of strings off to be localized this week; I’ll see if I can get that one in. Ditto for the QR button.

Eh, I just grabbed zeroclipboard. It probably shouldn’t display the button if flash isn’t installed, at the very least.

I’d also put the API key into an input-element instead of just leaving it as text node – just to make it more convenient for those who have flash disabled:

<input type="text" readonly="true" value="API_KEY_YO" onclick="this.select();" />
