webUSB serial (REPL) doesn't support right click to cut/copy/paste

I'm trying to transfer printed data from the webUSB serial screen to another package.
I can hold left mouse button to highlight text but cannot right click onto this highlighted text to copy.
Same with just the same with right-click paste (into an `input` statement)
Also shortcut keys ctrl-X, ctrl-C and ctrl-V don't work

Highlight text and middle-click transfers text from one window to current input point which is a UNIX/Linux thing
