| Fallback implementation uses ["paste" listener](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/paste_event). So clipboard is updated on the server only if you invoke that listener, for example, by hitting Ctrl+V or Ctrl+Shift+V. **If you have an application on the server side with a "paste" button, a click on it can paste outdated information unless the listener wasn't invoked**. |

Is it really "fallback"? Looks like it's still always invoked when we paste, so we just update the clipboard without need. It can be improved, let's add todo in code or comment in documentation.

It seems we still don't support a scenario when another app changes clipboard without activation of our browser tab. This case is rare (probably some special software) but I think we could mention that.

Do you mean the situation when clipboard is changed in background while user uses projected IDE in active browser tab?
