Paste in WebEngineView

VRHans

Is paste failing in webengineview a known issue?

It works in the webengineview nanobrowser example - but there's some sort of 'action' mapping in that sample (that I do not know if it is necessary or not.)

Is this something I need to manually add to my qml code in order for paste/copy to work?

@VRHans This barebones example works. Nothing extra is added.

QtWebEngine::initialize();

QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));

main.qml

WebEngineView {
    anchors.fill: parent
}

Which Qt version/OS are you using ?

VRHans

5.7

It doesn't work on OSX until I do what the nanobrowser sample does - which is hand connect the keyboard shortcuts to the web actions on the view.

@VRHans Ok. Which keyboard shortcut did you use for copy/paste ?

@p3c0

I just used a subsection from the sample's BrowserWindow.qml:

    Action {
        shortcut: StandardKey.Copy
        onTriggered: currentWebView.triggerWebAction(WebEngineView.Copy)
    }
    Action {
        shortcut: StandardKey.Cut
        onTriggered: currentWebView.triggerWebAction(WebEngineView.Cut)
    }
    Action {
        shortcut: StandardKey.Paste
        onTriggered: currentWebView.triggerWebAction(WebEngineView.Paste)
    }
    Action {
        shortcut: "Shift+"+StandardKey.Paste
        onTriggered: currentWebView.triggerWebAction(WebEngineView.PasteAndMatchStyle)
    }
    Action {
        shortcut: StandardKey.SelectAll
        onTriggered: currentWebView.triggerWebAction(WebEngineView.SelectAll)
    }
    Action {
        shortcut: StandardKey.Undo
        onTriggered: currentWebView.triggerWebAction(WebEngineView.Undo)
    }
    Action {
        shortcut: StandardKey.Redo
        onTriggered: currentWebView.triggerWebAction(WebEngineView.Redo)
    }

@VRHans Can you try setting javascriptCanAccessClipboard ?

VRHans

@p3c0 As a replacement for the code above (which works)?

p3c0

No. In the code that I posted.

@p3c0 as a fallow up I tried the property you are talking about and it made my app crash (just the addition of that line). I don't know if this is a bug but it happened on qt 5.7.1.
