@torgo@mastodon.social In fairness, it's something required if you want to make a text editor that allow pasting by clicking a paste button, which led to the infamous "you need to press ctrl+v to paste" prompt in Google Docs that many users get mad at without knowing the caveats of this. That being said, I'm sure people (like Apple or Mozilla... surely not Google) could have suggested an API that allowed that and didn't have this caveat.

@qgustavor@urusai.social @torgo@mastodon.social The other browsers now handle this by showing a little [paste] menu behind your mouse pointer when the site tries to programmatically paste. It's clunky, inaccessible, and should let users allow-list new keyboard shortcuts, but at least it enables the functionality.
