What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Mark text in a shell in a box browser windows
2. Click right mouse button and select copy
3. Click right mouse button in the notepad and try to select paste

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

shellinabox browser windo could be pasted to a notepad.

Any version

Please provide any additional information below.

This is a limitation in the security model that browsers enforce. There is not 
much that we can do.

With some browsers, you can at least select text in ShellInABox and then pick 
"Copy" from the browser's menubar. This then allows you to paste into other 
applications. Usually, the reverse (i.e. pasting into ShellInABox) still 
doesn't work though.

This issue comes up every so often; both for ShellInABox and for other web 
applications. But as far as I know, there is no officially standardized way to 
lift this restriction in the browser. Possibly, a native-code plugin would 
help, but there are also issues with that -- and it looks as if browser support 
for doing this is going away in the near future, anyway.

Well, i am not programmer, but saw that in Ajaxterm, which demo you can see 
here: http://demos.anyterm.org/ajaxterm_nano/. There you can mark text, righ 
click, select copy and then paste it outside Ajaxterm window.

My 2 cents... add something to the right-click menu that creates a javascript 
"prompt()" window that contains the shellinabox clipboard. then you can copy 
the text out and/or paste new text in.
