> [Google] Docs started to experience selective performance issues and bugs on Firefox
As a firefox user, the thing that annoys the hell out of me is the inability to use the mouse menu for cut and paste in Google Docs unless you're using chrome. I don't understand why it forces you to use the keyboard shortcut. I'm an emacs user, and find the windows-y keyboard shortcuts foreign, so I have to think about them, and prefer just using the right-click mouse menu.
- sp332 7y agoI just tried this in Firefox and it worked fine?
- benjaminjackman 7y agoI think it was recently fixed, because I remember getting the messages gp mentions but haven’t for a while now.
- cptskippy 7y agoFor me, Copy works but Paste results in dialog telling me to use the keyboard.
- kingofpandora 7y agoI used to have this problem but the behaviour has changed and it works fine now.
- drewg123 7y agoI just got it today, with firefox 73

- drewg123 7y agoEmacs is unchanged muscle memory for the last 30+ years. Cut is ctrl-k (or ctrl-w depending on your perspective), yank is ctrl-y. How many WYSIWYG editors have risen and died in that time? How many desktop environments? And the "cut copy and paste that works on any computer" -- on a windows pc its ctrl-blah, and on a mac its cmd-blah.
