Bug Description

We've finally got an auto-copy button for secret-URLs. But, there are a couple of ways it's lacking:

1. The button shows up waaaaaaay over on the right-hand side of the screen, next to the "edit" and "delete" icons. The link is all the way over on the left. I knew that the copy button was there and I had a hard time finding it at first! We need to move it over closer to the URL. Since all the URLs are a fixed with, perhaps it would make more sense to change the table they're displayed in so that it's narrower, instead of stretching to fill the screen.

2. When you click the button, there's no feedback to indicate that copying worked. I've seen this done in different ways on different sites, but we need to provide some graphic change to indicate that it's copied now. This could be something like highlighting the URL, or an ephemeral "copied" that shows up.

If it is still a table then that page may need to be revisited altogether so that it could be done differently.

I agree that some feedback for the copying would be nice so you know that it's really copied.

Still a problem in 15.10dev, although perhaps it'll be better after the Bootstrap changes are merged in.
