Copy and Cut to Clipboard not working in Safari or App Containers like Unite/Fluid

See original GitHub issue

code-server version: 1.939-vsc1.33.1
OS Version: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Safari Version: 12.1 on macOS Mojave

Description

When using Safari or any application container that uses Safari as the engine (such as those generated by Unite or Fluidapp – my favorite way to use code-server), highlighting text and pressing Cmd+C, Cmd+X, or choosing “Copy” or “Cut” from the Edit menu has no effect. Pasting after doing any of those things results in the previous contents of the clipboard being pasted. Chrome does not have this issue.

Steps to Reproduce

Copy text to your clipboard from any text file or website outside of code-server
Open code-server in Safari and highlight text in an open file
Press Cmd+C
Press Cmd+V. The text copied in Step 1 will be pasted.

Thanks for this incredible project!

Just for iPadOS, I wanted to share a hack I’ve been using locally to achieve full clipboard functionality (please see the commit linked above).

Maybe it will be useful to anyone similarly desperate to access code-server on an iPad, but unfortunately in its current form it isn’t pull-request appropriate. It’s the best I could manage via editing the patch file by hand.
