Description
Subset -up of https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/30484
Follow-up of https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/49432
Description
When selecting files, it would be nice to be able to copy/cut/paste them.
We currently have the copy/move action, but considering the goal is to add shortcuts (ctrl+c/v/x), it means we would need a way to tell the user the current selection that is currently saved.
Maybe a bottom-right div that states the content of the /clipboard/ ?

Research direction
Start by reading the linked issue #30484 and follow-up pull request #49432, then trace the existing file-selection copy/move action in the frontend. Confirm how a selection is stored and how keyboard shortcuts would expose it. Done means selected files can be copied, cut, and pasted with clear feedback about the current clipboard selection.
