Copy image path to click on it

Question

I have an image. Here,I have written jQuery that looks like below :

jQuery('.image').click(function(){
    var path = $(this).attr('src');
});

Now, I want to fire copy event for this path.When I press ctrl+v button then it print above path so what jQuery should I have to write?

I need to fire copy event automatically. So it is possible?

You can not just “fire a copy event” and hope that will put stuff into the clipboard. / Possible duplicate of [How do I copy to the clipboard in JavaScript?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/400212/how-do-i-copy-to-the-clipboard-in-javascript) — CBroe, May 18 '16 at 13:32

// Append the aux input to the body
document.body.appendChild(aux);

I think you want this

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    var path;
    $(document).on('click','.image',function()
    {
      path = $(this).attr('src');
    });

    $(document).on('keydown',function(evt)
    {
       if(evt.ctrlKey && evt.which == 86)
       {
       $('#field').html(path);
       }
   });
});
</script>

<body>
   <img src="sample/welcome/thing.jpg" alt="no image" class="image"/>

    <p id="field"></p>
 </body>
