Hi,

You might want to take a look at

http://www.milonic.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 0065#30065.

It has more information and links to various functions about copy and paste, and an explanation of how to do something in the menu to copy and paste. However, as far as I know there's not really a way to set up a js function that will let users right click, highlight copy and paste randomly selected text. And that is what you would need in order to be able to apply the function in that context menu. How is the menu to know what text has been copied? That particular function is something in the browsers' internal programming and it is not necessarily the same in all browsers. The 2nd post in that link has links to outside html/js forums which talk about copy and paste. And, there is also a mozilla forum post I found about granting access to the clipboard. If you can figure out how to do a function like this, I know a lot of people who would be grateful. It's been asked a number of times.
