Description

Since this package doesn't use the electron menu, input fields do not allow copy/paste/select all.

Do you know if there is a way to enable this functionality without adding a menu? Primary target is macOS.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to enable default keyboard shortcuts (copy/paste/select all) in Electron without a menu. Look into using the globalShortcut module, adding an invisible menu, or handling key events manually.
