The most frequent need for copy text I expect is as follows: - a user selects - the copied text is empty or bizarre (e.g. "don't copy me"!) - the user tries again surprised, maybe using something else than the shortcut. First chance to see the menu item. - the user then searches for copy in some help or forum and should find it as well or maybe complains to the provider which should, of course, also be aware of it. Note, oh note, if you do not want a copy-text menu-item, there's no way to allow websites to have onCopy handlers and still prevent abuse... or do I mistake ? paul
