Aside from being an interesting experiment, I want Moonlander to be
something polished. Having to open secondary windows to do something as
"basic" (in terms of user interaction) as copy/paste wouldn't be good
design.
Aside from that, the infrastructure for at least basic text selection
would be required to handle inline links in formats like Markdown, if
they were to get implemented.
