How to get shortcut's working for extensions using the Edge side panel?

Question

I created an extension that displays a html site in the chromium side panel. Installed in Chrome i can for example use Cmd + c, Cmd + v or Cmd + a on the displayed text which is not possible when i install the app in Edge. I'm on V118.0.2088.46 (x86_64) and macOS Sonoma 14.0 with permissions for clipboardRead and write enabled in the manifest.json.

I could not find any information about this problem so my question is, do i need to add something in the html or manifest to get it to work, is this a wanted behaviour or just a bug?

Hi @Anonymous ,

I have tested an extension on Edge(118.0.2088.46 (x86_64)) Sidebar under MacOS Ventura 13.5, and the shortcuts (such as Cmd+C, Cmd+V,Cmd+A) are also not working. However, the shortcuts are working fine on Windows OS. I think it is a common issue.
I recommend you sending feedback to the Dev Team by pressing Alt+Shift+I in Microsoft Edge to report this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation.
