Public bug reported:

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.
