Vimeo: copy a link to the current timestamp

Pressing the "t" key copies a link to the video with the exact current-second timestamp to the clipboard.

Code to copy

// Press "t" to copy a link to the current timestamp of the video
document.addEventListener('keydown', function (e) {
  if (e.key !== 't') return;
  const tag = (e.target.tagName || '').toLowerCase();
  if (tag === 'input' || tag === 'textarea' || e.target.isContentEditable) return;
  const v = document.querySelector('video');
  if (!v) return;
  const secs = Math.floor(v.currentTime);
  const url = location.origin + location.pathname + '#t=' + secs + 's';
  if (navigator.clipboard) {
    navigator.clipboard.writeText(url).catch(function () {});
  }
});
