Hi, I’m just getting started with the scripting block, trying a few examples out. When I hit the “copy” button on an example and try to paste the code into the editor window, I can’t find the expected “paste” menu. CNTRL V works, however. I’m using Chrome on Windows 10.

Thanks for writing in! Due to limitations related to accessing the clipboard in JavaScript, there is no dedicated context menu item for pasting in the editor. As you noted, you can paste code snippets using the Cmd/Ctrl + V keyboard shortcut.

Ah - that’s frustrating! Thanks for your reply though.
