I guess this is supposed to be some Jabbascript trickery, but for me, a 'paste' action in the second text field just yields... blankness...

Which is a pretty good trick, I have to admit, exposing the nothingness of life. Kudos!

I use firefox and when I pasted my previous clipboard I figured the "trick" was getting my clipboard.

Just checked... nothing goes over the wire when you paste, at least.

Seems the error is:

*Uncaught (in promise) ReferenceError: ClipboardItem is not defined*

Yeah sadly it was the same for me (Firefox). I was hoping for a cool trick.

I got

    y+dy, x+dx

which... um... was the contents of my clipboard before I attempted the trick. Probably firefox doing the right thing in a private session.

Me too. Attempting to paste anywhere else does the same, as a reflection of the inescapable futility of existence.

Or it could just be that I'm using Firefox? Seems to work for me in Chrome. :)
