Description

Feature request

The table component should support Ctrl+V and Cmd+V for pasting clipboard data into cells, similar to many spreadsheet applications.

It would also be nice to export a <PasteCellsMenuItem> which does the same action. This would be used similar to <CopyCellsMenuItem> via the bodyContextMenuRenderer prop API.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how the table component handles keyboard events and clipboard operations. Look at the existing CopyCellsMenuItem implementation as a reference for PasteCellsMenuItem. Ensure cross platform compatibility for Ctrl/Cmd+V. Test with typical clipboard data formats.
