Copy and paste are working for me. Do you still get this issue on the latest version of vscode/live preview?

The same thing happens to me, I can't copy and paste to be able to test the functionality of my page in Live Preview.

I've been having this issue for a while as well, and I think I may have found a potential reason for it.

Looking at the vscode WebView it seems to be created fine and has permissions, but webviewComm creates an iframe that isn't sandboxed or allows anything so in the dev tools you can see that clipboard-write and clipboard-read are not allowed which would prevent copying from the iframe I believe that this is the issue.

I'll look into building this package locally and testing it myself as I don't think you can live edit an iframe allow or at least it wasn't working for me. Haven't really considered the security implications of this so would like to know if this would be an issue?

Here's the related pull request.

It worked as expected during my testing, but let me know if I missed anything or if you'd like me to make any adjustments.

The Live Preview extension now uses VS Code's Integrated Browser, which should resolve this. Please give it another try and feel free to reopen this issue if it persists.
