gollark: That would be a nice feature for license keys since they tend to be nasty and long.
gollark: You can actually *click* the name of a peripheral and it's automagically put on your clipboard.
gollark: So, if you rightclick a modem, it tells you the name of peripherals on it, yes?
gollark: Also, minor but probably important QoL thing: please make it so that you can click the license key to copy it to clipboards like you can with peripheral names.
gollark: It's more a thing of random BIOS additions and making compatibility with potatOS more annoying.
