/**
 * Clipboard component manages the copy/cut/paste events by capturing these events from the browser,
 * managing their state, and exposing an API to other components to get/set the data.
 *
 * Because of a lack of standardization of ClipboardEvents between browsers, the way Clipboard
 * captures the events is by creating a hidden textarea element that's always focused with some text
 * selected. Here is a good write-up of this:
 * https://www.lucidchart.com/techblog/2014/12/02/definitive-guide-copying-pasting-javascript/
 *
 * When ClipboardEvent is detected, Clipboard captures the event and calls the corresponding
 * copy/cut/paste/input command actions, which will get called on the appropriate component.
 *
 * Usage:
 *    Components need to register copy/cut/paste actions with command.js:
 *      .copy() should return @pasteObj (defined below).
 *      .paste(plainText, [cutSelection]) should take a plainText value and an optional cutSelection
 *      parameter which will specify the selection that should be cleared as part of paste.
 *      .input(char) should take a single input character and will be called when the user types a
 *      visible character (useful if component wants to interpret typing into a cell, for example).
