Cut and Paste from Web Based Apple Notes

Question

Cut and Paste from Web Based Apple Notes

Platform: Windows 11 64bit

Web Browser: Mozilla Firefox 141.0.3 (64-bit)

When I attempt to paste text to Apple's Web Based Notes the ability to paste is not present. Right clicking the mouse doesn't provide an alternative way to paste. Using the on-screen keyboard application doesn't allow paste. This feature used to work, and the function currently works on other applications in Windows, but not in Apple's Notes. Does anyone have a solution?

This is what I get when I right click the mouse in Apple Notes via the web.

Title should read: Pasting Text into Web Based Apple Notes

Thanks 6x6 for the response.

It appears the pasted image of the right click of the mouse didn't take on the website or the website deleted the image. Nonetheless, what I should have made more clear is that attempts to use CTRL+V or a right click of the mouse for pasting text into Apple Notes does not work. The CTRL+V keyboard shortcut doesn't do anything (meaning nothing happens) in Apple notes, while the keyboard shortcut does work in MS Word or other applications. The other idea of right clicking the mouse doesn't present the user with options to paste. Instead it presents options to "Open Image in New Tab" or "Save Image As".

You could use the keyboard shortcut “ctrl V” to paste if you have no other option.
