Unable to paste to terminal

[dsseng]

OS: Ubuntu 19.10, x86_64, code-server is running in Docker container
Browser: Firefox 74
Version: latest from Docker, pulled today

1. I've got a command I want to execute in clipboard
   2a. I press Ctrl+Shift+V, just as in VS Code terminal, it doesn't work
   2b. I try right-clicking the terminal, I get this:
   
   As you can see, no Paste option
   2c. For last try I pressed Ctrl+V, and I got ^V, as usual.
2. In none of these cases command is pasted.

Maybe this's related to #1106, since I use http to connect to editor:

Updated container config, accessing as localhost:8080, it doesn't paste, but localhost is a secure context for browser.

I checked, it works okay in Chrome, but doesn't in Firefox.

Hm, I thought firefox worked as well. Any ideas @code-asher ?

If it doesn't work in Firefox, it might not be a bad idea to make a table for features available in each browser.

Yeah, it's a bit of a mess on Firefox. Firefox doesn't support the clipboard API so it's not possible to do anything but a native paste (which is why there's no right-click menu for pasting). Unfortunately while Firefox will perform a native paste with `Ctrl+v`, that keybinding already has a different assignment in the terminal so it can't be used. Normally `Ctrl+Shift+V` would also perform a native paste but in Firefox that only works in `contenteditable=true` elements for some reason, and the terminal doesn't use that (it probably should though). `Shift+Insert` does usually perform a native paste in Firefox though so that might work for you.

@code-asher a solution for me was clicking on the mouse wheel, it performs native paste in FF

[code-asher]

Oh yeah that's great; I'd forgotten about that.

I'll go ahead and close this in favor of #1106. I'll edit it a little to reflect better the current situation.
