Clipboard does not return text in HTML5 #1703

Closed DigiEggz closed 1 year ago

DigiEggz commented 1 year ago

When running an HTML5 javascript app, no text is returned when accessing Clipboard.text. Desktop access works properly, however.

In web browsers, JavaScript is not allowed to read from the clipboard unless the user explicitly uses the Ctrl+V keyboard shortcut or selects Paste from the edit menu. This is a security restriction that we have no control over.

The code is partially working. I was tracing out the value in the set_text()function of Clipboard and I can see the correct text.

If I comment out the __update() within get_text, it correctly pastes the text when I use a keyboard shortcut. I'll keep testing things out.
