fix: resolve Windows clipboard (Ctrl+V/X/C) not working in WebView2#517
Merged
Conversation
Three root causes prevented clipboard operations on Windows:
1. Native Tauri menu registered keyboard accelerators for cut/copy/paste
that intercepted keystrokes before reaching the WebView, and its
paste handler called execCommand('paste') which WebView2 blocks
for security → made menu macOS-only.
2. platform.isNative is false in Tauri, so PasteAction/CutAction/CopyAction
had no Ctrl+V/X/C keybinding registered → added platform.isTauri
to the kbOpts condition for all three actions.
3. SendInput-synthesized Ctrl+V was re-caught by PasteAction (re-entrancy)
and triggerPaste via external process was fragile → disabled
triggerPaste and use direct clipboard read + editor.trigger() for the
editor, and synthetic ClipboardEvent dispatch for non-editor contexts
(terminal, etc.).
Also replaced PowerShell SendKeys with Win32 SendInput API and
simplified clipboard helper methods.

CI failed because cargo fmt --check found formatting issues. Ran cargo fmt to auto-format the code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Clippy warned that `map_or(false, |t| !t.is_empty())` can be simplified to `is_ok_and(|t| !t.is_empty())`. Resolves CI Backend Lint (Clippy) failure.
