Right Click in webtextarea/field to paste

Targets Web

You cannot right click in a webtextfield or a webtextarea.

Im not looking to detect the click ( as in IsContextualClick )

I just need the user to be able to paste text.

What am I missing?

From what I see, paste with the standard Command-V or Ctrl-V work in all current browsers : Safari, Chrome on Mac, IE, Firefox and Chrome on PC.

By default, right click menu in a browser does not behave like the desktop one. There is no copy/cut/paste items.

You will have to use JavaScript to access the keyboard object in order to paste.
