You can't copy or paste from the context menu in Google Docs. WHY THE ACTUAL FUCK NOT?!

Like I actually can't think of a reason for this. In fact, why even have those buttons in the first place?
O think this problem is rooted to the browser-based software design.

1Surprisingly enough, given the extensive backstory of the botnet / Alphabet Inc. / Google being fucking arseholes, this is not the result of arsehole design. It's just that websites don't have access to your clipboard.
A few notes:
- Keyboard shortcuts still work as they're a feature of the OS, not the browser.
- The botnet browser circumvents this by having its own clipboard.
- If I recall correctly, there are extensions for other browsers to allow copypaste from the menu. Don't trust me on that, I don't use Botnet Dox.
0It's actually for security. Otherwise websites could grab whatever you happen to have in your clipboard. You might have a copied password from a password manager, or a private key for a wallet. I don't want sites having defacto access to the clipboard for that reason.
