Issues related to the Extension running in Theia
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, the Clipboard browser API is considered experimental and must be enabled in order to perform copy/paste actions within Theia. Without enabling this feature through the browser, users will be unable to copy and paste DS members and USS files/folders.
Describe the solution you'd like
Use an alternative method to manage clipboard data, specifically one that would work with Theia out-of-the-box.
This would also fix other VScode "cloud platforms" that would need the experimental clipboard API for these same operations.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Both of these will add to the memory footprint used in ZE, but will be worth it for compatibility, and will also give us the ability to copy/paste binary objects within ZE (as currently the only clipboard API in VS code is for writing text)
