  I would like to use the clipboard functionality from a context menu. I am trying to work within the requirements that the copy and paste methods only work right after a ctrl-c or ctrl-v key press. In Angular, I am trying to dispatch a keyboard event with the two events in question. I can set the key and the code but not the keyCode of the event. It seems as though the clipboard is looking specifically for the keyCode, which is a depreciated property and readonly.

  Is there anyway to use the clipboard without having a key press right before or do you know of a way to get the keyboardevent to return the correct code?

  Thanks

  Sorry, but there’s currently now way to use clipboard without pressing a key when using the Wijmo Clipboard. The Wijmo Clip board can only modify the ClipBoard content, the properties like KeyCode which are keyboard specific cannot be modified using the API.
