    Virtual Machine for the Web

    1. Support for traditional copy/paste shortcuts is problematic, since Ctrl-C is interpreted as the SIGINT signal. Copying via the mouse menu should work. Pasting is supported via Ctrl+Shift+V.

    2. We had these reported from several users and we will investigate as soon as we can: https://github.com/leaningtech/webvm/issues/102
