gpui_web: Implement clipboard write and paste (#60890)
# Objective

write_to_clipboard was a no-op and read_from_clipboard returned None.

## Solution

Writes go through the browser's asynchronous Clipboard API,
fire-and-forget, invoked synchronously inside the user's input event so
the user-activation requirement holds.

Reads cannot be implemented the same way: the async clipboard read API
cannot fit read_from_clipboard's synchronous signature. Paste is instead
delivered by a DOM paste listener on the hidden input, whose
ClipboardEvent exposes clipboardData synchronously; the text feeds the
active input handler. This covers keyboard-, menu-bar- and
context-menu-initiated paste. Note the keyboard path requires the paste
chord's keydown to reach the browser unconsumed (apps should not bind
cmd/ctrl-v on web).

Licensing

Zed source code is licensed primarily under GPL-3.0-or-later, with Apache-2.0 components where marked.

License information for third party dependencies must be correctly provided for CI to pass.

We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:

  • Is it showing a no license specified error for a crate you've created? If so, add publish = false under [package] in your crate's Cargo.toml.
  • Is the error failed to satisfy license requirements for a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to the accepted array in script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml.
  • Is cargo-about unable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end of script/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
