Add ability to paste file upload

Created on 2 October 2023, almost 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

We are unable to paste files to upload.

Proposed resolution

The paste event is well supported in browsers. Add ability to paste a file to a file upload field.

Remaining tasks

  • [ ] Accept pasted files to file upload fields.
  • [ ] Somehow indicate to the user the active field accepting paste events.
  • [ ] Add tests.

User interface changes

The paste event seems to occur on an active file upload field. But, there's no indication whether the file field is active or not. Local tests suggest that clicking near or next to the file field activates it for paste events. While after clicking elsewhere on the page, the paste event for a given file field is not fired.
