Hi, every since the update to the Esphome editor when I right click the ability to paste is not there. I have tried with chrome and edge with windows 10 on multiple pcs. Oddly enough when I try via safari from my iPhone the option is there. Any ideas?
That is a weird one… Firstly try updating to the new ESPHome 2022.9.2. It has fixed the editor… also try the commands rather than right click + Copy/Paste… try… “ctrl + C” for copy and “ctrl + V” for paste.

I have exactly the same problem and I’m on the latest version of ESP Home (2022.9.4). ctrl + C then ctrl + V works. But right clicking the mouse gives me “Go to Definition, Peek, Change all Occurrences, Cut, Copy, Command Palette”, but no paste.

me too did you fix it
Was there ever a solution to your problem I’m encountering the same thing.
I use Home Assistant client on MacOS. In the ESPHome config file editor I CMD-C some text and then try to CMD-V - nothing appears. If I paste into Notes App and then re-copy the text, I can now paste it into the editor.
There is something non-standard about the way the copy/paste appears implemented. Can this be fixed? My sincere thanks,

Copy/Paste in ESPHome editor does not always work. It works sometimes, so I don’t know if it’s rooted in the browser, as all is very variable (the it works, then it does not).
It used to work just fine before, but I can’t say which version exactly made it non-functional. Ctrl-Ins does not seem to work, or works only within the same ESPHome editor window, but not from another ESPHome editor window. Same for right-click - sometimes Copy option is visible, but mostly not. Paste similar.
Suggestions to remedy this?
