Description

It's not possible to copy from or paste to the integrated Simple Browser. This feature might be very simple to implement and would bring a lot of benefit with it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Simple Browser implementation, focusing on webview clipboard handling. Check for existing clipboard APIs in VS Code and how the browser context handles copy/paste events.
