Copy on select and middle mouse button paste doesn’t work in text fields created by js code in Firefox. I remember finding a stale bug report for it, but can’t find it.

There are a lot of websites that use javascript to create text fields, some recent examples that I can remember right now:

• codewars.com
• claude.ai
• vscode.dev

Edit: found report: https://github.com/codemirror/codemirror5/issues/931
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1593761

There’s only two. One has broken primary selection, the other has anti-user policies against adblock plugins.

I can live without copy on highlight. But you could pry UBlock Origin from my cold, dead hands.

Meanwhile Nim:

echo "I am still worthy"

let a = r"I hate the ugly '\' at the end of " &
         "multiline statements"

for x in 0..9:
  if x == 6: echo x

echo x # this is error in Nim, but not in python. Insane!

assert false + 1 # this is an error (python devs in shambles)
assert true - 1 # see above

Thanks for coming to my Ted-talk.
