> I'm an emacs user, and find the windows-y keyboard shortcuts foreign, so I have to think about them, and prefer just using the right-click mouse menu.

it's a little surprising to me that you can't remember cut, copy, and paste that works on any computer in the last two decades but can remember all of the esoteric emacs shortcuts, which include references to a key that doesn't even exist.

Emacs is unchanged muscle memory for the last 30+ years. Cut is ctrl-k (or ctrl-w depending on your perspective), yank is ctrl-y. How many WYSIWYG editors have risen and died in that time? How many desktop environments?

And the "cut copy and paste that works on any computer" -- on a windows pc its ctrl-blah, and on a mac its cmd-blah.

I just tried this in Firefox and it worked fine?

I think it was recently fixed, because I remember getting the messages gp mentions but haven’t for a while now.

For me, Copy works but Paste results in dialog telling me to use the keyboard.

I used to have this problem but the behaviour has changed and it works fine now.

I just got it today, with firefox 73
