Well, it didn't work when I wrote my comment, sorry that it seems to be inconsistent on my setup. Regardless it is still very questionable of Google to make the "insert" menu item do absolutely nothing but show a popup dialogue telling you to use Ctrl-V. It is annoying and comes across as a bit condescending, like some engineer at Google wanted to teach the noobs how it's done properly.

> It also have offline support, and supports right clicking?

I was talking about web apps in general, not just Google. Many web apps don't have any context menu or shortcuts, you have to move the mouse back and forth all the time for the simplest steps.

And what's even worse is that many JS-loaded websites mess with the UI so much that you can't open links in new tabs anymore. I don't even want to know how that can be done unintentionally.

> Adobe CC more or less requires the same login and authentication requirements as other web applications.

You are right there, maybe I conflated the web app trend with the rising amount of user-unfriendly software design.

The insert menu tells you to use the shortcut because browser restrictions make accessing/modifying the clipboard without doing so difficult.
