   Here’s a niche gotcha with the clipboard API’s `navigator.clipboard.writeText()` method that’s unique to Safari:

   If you access a function from a module within your gesture handler (e.g., click handler), you will get a permission error.

   The (sadly hacky and not as robust) workaround is to set a global variable from your module instead.

   Full gist:
