Handling Copy/Paste is complex for multiple reasons. Two of them are:

* the clipboard can contain private information so the editor must
have special rights to be able to access it. For instance, you
wouldn't want a web page to steal the user/password you just copied,
or to put a dangerous shell script hoping you'll paste it by mistake.
* the editor doesn't know where the pasted text came from. It can be
from the text you are editing (you just copy a phrase from one
paragraph to another) or it can be from an external source (an office
document or a different web page). I'm sure your users wouldn't be
happy if they had to go through the paste dialog each time they copy a
word from a paragraph and paste it in another paragraph.

Hope this helps,
Marius
