1809685 - Missing UI for dom.events.asyncClipboard.clipboardItem

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1770358

(Core :: DOM: Copy & Paste and Drag & Drop, enhancement)

Description

[Hal Wine [:hwine] use NI!]

Attachment: error message from vscode-in-browser

With the dom.events.asyncClipboard.clipboardItem default value of false, vs-code in browser no longer can access the clipboard. With the setting manually set to 'true', vs-code in browser works as before.

There is no UI available for the permission, as is suggested in sumo.

STR:
Prerequisites: GitHub account & repo you have write access to.

1. log into GitHub and navigate to a writable-by-you repo
2. press '.' (period) to activate the vscode-in-browser feature
3. open a file, and attempt to paste additional content

Expected Behavior

• text on clipboard is successfully added to document

Actual Behavior

• text is not added
• alert is displayed by vscode-in-browser (see attached image)

I don't think there is any point in adding a UI option for this. We should just wait for these prefs to be enabled by default.
