I couldn't see any posts for this. I know I can use ctrl v but do miss paste from the RMB menu.

This is a browser / monaco issue.

It might be resolved in latest version of monaco.

could you try right click copy, right click paste in the [monaco playground](https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/playground.html)?

Also, how are you accessing node-red in the browser? http/https? localhost?

Yes, FF is a pain. Does it work on your node-red in chrome?

Could you also answer ...

`http://localhost:1880` or `http://IP_ADDRESS:1880` or `http://some-domain:1880` or ... ?

and if it is IP address is it the browser on the same machine as node-red is running?

Working in

Microsoft Edge  
Version 97.0.1072.76 (Official build) (64-bit)

Of course it initially asks for permission and if you didn't give it sometime, you'd need to reset the permissions.

Is browser on same machine as node-red?  
Is the URL http / https?  
using IP or name?  
via proxy / across internet or LAN? / direct?

Does the remote machine have a browser you could test using `http://localhost:1880`?

I'd like to understand if this is related to security etc.

Sorry, should have said.

Works both on same localhost with Node-RED and with Node-RED on another host. localhost is http remote is https. I use `http://127.0.0.1:1880/red/#flow/bbba670ae518c0ec` for the localhost and `https://home.knightnet.co.uk:1880/red/#flow/ff1a7711.244f48` (and in case you are wondering - no that URL isn't externally accessible, it was just a spare domain so I used it for Let's Encrypt).

Thanks.
