Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Text manipulation keyboard shortcuts (copy/paste/cut) don't seem to be working in the Electron app. They are still working as expected via a web browser (Safari).

Tested this in notes, amount and account fields in the register view.

Tested on Macos so tried cmd and ctrl variants.

Client/server version 25.11.0

How can we reproduce the issue?

Open any register view, select some text and try ctrl (/cmd) x/c/v.
also
Copy some text in to the buffer outside of Actual, then try and paste it in to a text box.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Desktop App (Electron)

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

No response

Operating System

Mac OSX

Apologies, I searched for ‘keyboard’ and ‘shortcuts’ etc and didn’t find that one or the other 20 variants of this report!
