@baubeis, try adding action to the editor with addAction api.

For a starting point refer to this example in the playground.

@bpasero ,
I went through this PR Link

I have certain doubts regarding this ,

1. When will this be available in monaco-editor ?
2. Will this paste the text copied from anywhere (say as content from some other browser tab) ?
3. Will this prompt about permission like how this website of google chrome does ?

[bpasero]

1. as soon as we do a new release with the "August" bits of VSCode
2. this relies on navigator.clipboard.readText support from the browser
3. yes a prompt will appear if navigator.clipboard.readText is triggered

But maybe Alex can chime in too.

[alexdima]

That is correct, this will come out with the editor August release.
