Description

Keyboard shortcut ctrl-v for paste not working on webapp with Windows/Firefox.

### Expected
Expected ctrl-v to paste the text from the clipboard.

### Observed
Ctrl-v does not appear to do anything. Ctrl-shift-v and shift-insert do work for pasting.

### Reproduced
1. Go to https://app.simplenote.com/ and log in if necessary.
2. Copy some text with ctrl-c, either from within simplenote, within another webpage in Firefox, or from another desktop app.
3. In the body of a note in simplenote do the ctrl-v keyboard shortcut (no result seen).
