Absoultely standard behaviour for all native applications. E.g

Yes.

Or you can paste a password into a password dialog. And so on.

Simply put, if you choose Paste on a Mac, when editing text, it will paste
wherever the caret is. It does not matter if that is a window, a dialog box, or
anything else.

Furthermore, the Mac makes no distinction whether you use the Edit menu, or a
command key - the command key is regarded as just a short cut for using the
menu.

Yes, menus are supposed to change to reflect conext. However, at the risk of
getting boring, being able to paste text wherever you are typing text is
expected. Any application which disabled pasting text into dialogs would be
considered broken.
