Description

Summary

I'm unable to copy-paste cells between notebooks in Firefox. (Works in Chrome, and works in firefox if I disable vim-binding extension)

Environment

  • Operating system : Ubuntu 17.10 (Gnome)
  • Web browser : Firefox 59.0.2
  • Jupyter Notebook : 5.4.1
  • jupyter-vim-binding : v2.1.0

Remarks

I'm using Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V to copy-paste. yy and p yanks and pastes cells within a notebook only in any case.

Research direction
Investigate why copy paste fails in Firefox but works in Chrome. Look into Firefox specific clipboard API restrictions or conflicts with vim binding extension. Check for any existing workarounds or fixes in the repository, especially in the clipboard handling code (likely in content script files). Replicate the issue with a minimal test case to isolate the cause.
