Editor: support cut/paste buttons on FF3

[bill]

FF2 can only cut/paste via ctrl-v and ctrl-x, but I bet we can fix this restriction in FF3, once we move to contentEditable instead of iframes. Yes?

[alex]

no, we can't. That said, we need to hide the copy/paste icons entirely for browsers that can't handle them or provide it as an option. Having buttons on the toolbar that you can *never use* is freaking terrible UI and must be fixed for 1.2

[bill]

The buttons are in the toolbar on purpose, so that users don't get confused when they don't see the buttons. Whether or not having them there is a good idea is debatable, but I'm going to follow in the footsteps of ​http://www.fckeditor.net/demo and leave them there.

[David Schwartz]

These buttons should not be on the toolbar if they are not functional. Ideally, they would be made to work. Short of that, they should be removed.

[bill]

Well, you'll need to present an argument rather than just claiming that's true (ie that it's better to remove the buttons than to have a dialog explaining how to cut/paste).

As I alluded to above, the buttons are there for discoverability about how to cut/paste, and also, all the major DHTML editors I know, like ​google, ​fckeditor, and ​tinymce have cut/paste buttons or menu items that popup a dialog telling the user how to cut/paste.

Also note that dijit users can customize the toolbar to have whatever buttons they want.
