Hey Marcus , If you want to trigger the copy paste menu manually, there is an alternative way to do so. Please reference message app[1] that we use selection API to trigger the menu because there is no user interaction could trigger the menu in some scenario in message app. If you want to know more about the copy paste behavior, maybe you can ask Ting-Yu ( [email protected]) for more details.
