Research direction
Start at the webUSB serial REPL and reproduce the reported selection, right-click, and Ctrl-X/C/V behavior in Chromium on Linux. Done means highlighted output can be copied and text can be pasted into the REPL input using the context menu and keyboard shortcuts.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
I'm trying to transfer printed data from the webUSB serial screen to another package.
I can hold left mouse button to highlight text but cannot right click onto this highlighted text to copy.
Same with just the same with right-click paste (into an input statement)
Also shortcut keys ctrl-X, ctrl-C and ctrl-V don't work
Highlight text and middle-click transfers text from one window to current input point which is a UNIX/Linux thing
