Remove copy/paste items from contextmenu on desktop
See original GitHub issueWe should remove contextmenu copy
& paste
actions for non-mobile screen sizes because it’s currently impossible to determine in cross-browser fashion whether a paste
action will result in anything. As such, we should remove copy
as well.
The reasoning is, that those actions’ keyboard shortcuts are well-known enough to be ok. See discussion below.

Specifically, we should maybe disable it only for browsers that don’t support clipboard.readText()
, and whose in-app clipboard is empty.
Just a thought. It may not be a good idea, because cmd-v
could still result in a successful paste, and this may dissuade users from trying. At the same time, clicking on paste
when it’s not doing anything is a bad UX as well.

Another thought: remove copy/paste contextmenu items (at least on Desktop) altogether. This will fix the conundrum. Figma doesn’t list them either, and they’re pretty well-known keyboard shortcuts.
