    Right-click? We civilized people ctrl-c. 😁

    As relatable problems go, not being able to select text solely for its own sake doesn’t feel that great of one. Doing it just feels so extra: like, why do that & just waste it? Are we hyperactive? Should we work on impulse control? Selecting highlights to show the scope of an operation.

    As a nuisance, offering extra, context-relevant functionality doesn’t seem that great of one, either: I can just ignore that & ctrl-c. And I don’t see a great alternative to a popover offering that functionality. It probably saves a few clicks when done right.

    Removing standard functionality, however, is extremely relatable. I’ll go into Dev Tools to remove anything disabling copy & paste, because fuck that & burn the control freak who signed off on that.
