Copy and paste

[bschlagel]

As with #1 copying and pasting should work seamlessly both in text areas, and across blocks in a document. (NB: ofc "cut" should work here as well!)

Inside text areas:

• [x] Inline formatting should be copied properly
• [x] Text should be able to be pasted into other apps (at least plaintext; ideally markdown for formatted text I think?)
• [ ] After pasting a substring into another text block, the cursor goes to end of block when it should go to end of just-pasted string!
• [ ] Also, selected text is not overwritten on paste (e.g. if I have text One selected and paste Two I should just have Two but end up with TwoOne)

Across blocks:

• [ ] Multi-selected blocks should be copy/cut and pastable into other pages and docs
• [x] If multiple blocks are cut/copied and pasted into another app e.g. external text editor, at least the text should copy as expected (other blocks TBD…could ignore or e.g. just copy titles)
• [x] Should paste in the correct order no matter which direction selected
• [x] All formatting of text blocks should be maintained
• [x] After pasting, should focus to end of last block (not first)
• [ ] Copying / pasting blocks with the cursor in an empty block should prob replace that block vs. adding after and leaving the one empty block

Need to work on Cut! It has some the additional complexity of needing to handle deleting the non-text blocks

I think copy-pasting from rich text / html (?) sometimes fails; not sure if it's the html tags but e.g. the leaflet section of our homepage only some parts are copied…

Noticing earlier that sometimes copy-paste from a Leaflet to external app also sometimes fails (with just text blocks). Can't repro now though! Will see if I run into this again…it was weird, if I clicked into a block and cmd-a to select, it failed, but if I nav with keyboard then cmd-a it worked.
