在Firefox和Chrome浏览器的CKEditor中禁用了剪切，复制和粘贴功能。 解决方法？

Question

As you can easily test yourself on http://ckeditor.com/demo (v. 4.4.3), the cut, copy and paste functions by means of the buttons and context menu are disabled (ie actively blocked) in Firefox(30) and Chrome(35). This has also been the case with earlier versions of the browsers and of (F)CKEditor. With other form text area editors (which CKEditor actually is), the said functions work perfectly well in the two browsers. And with Internet Explorer it has never been a problem, at least up to 9 (cannot test > 9 now).

I've gone through the whole documentation and the CKEditor forums, including the developers/bug report site, but no solution or work-around is offered. Does anyone know one? It would preferably have to be one that is Javascript-based, because I think it is a poor show if we have to ask the users to configure their FF/Chrome to use the editor in a normal way. If that would be possible at all.

Answer 1

Direct access to clipboard or forcing paste is yet impossible on other browsers than IE. On IE user must accept a security alert to allow this.

If you've ever seen an editor being able to drag content from the clipboard, I suppose it was a Flash or Java solution (entire editor or just the clipboard access). I know of nothing in JavaScript that could help.

Fortunately, situation will change in the future, because a solution is being standardised at the moment. Application will be able to fire paste event from a semi-trusted event. We have to wait a year or two, though.

Answer 2

I'm using IE11 and have no problem with pasting in-- with Chrome, it pops up a window that claims I can use ctl-V to do it manually, which works with text but given I'm often trying to paste in an image, nothing occurs at all when I try that. My solution-- recommend users use IE. My recommendation to browser developers-- if your security solution requires breaking the user's workflow, they will exert far more effort finding a workaround for the problem than they ever would conforming to complicated security procedures.
