Description

Since this package doesn't use the electron menu, input fields do not allow copy/paste/select all.

Do you know if there is a way to enable this functionality without adding a menu? Primary target is macOS.

Research direction

Start by examining how this Electron package creates windows and handles input actions on macOS, since the issue names no files or tests. Reproduce the behavior in an input field and investigate whether copy, paste, and select-all can work without an Electron menu; done means all three actions work without adding a menu.
