Allow copying and pasting selection

[austinliuigi]

Motivation

Sometimes it is desirable to duplicate something you wrote to another page. If #932 gets added, this would be possible, but still inconvenient if you wanted to duplicate it to a page very far from the current page.

Solution

Allow the ability to copy a selection to clipboard and paste the respective clipboard to a page of interest.

I propose to change the title to "copy/move and paste selection to another page".

As mentioned in #932, resolving this issue would enable me to use Saber, an otherwise fantastic app... If anyone could take a look at it I would be incredibly grateful.

Duplicate comment (because this issue felt like a better match):

@austinliuigi If planning on implementing copy/paste, I request you (or the developer) take a look at the Squid app (Android). Cutting/copying a selection in there copies it to the device clipboard rather than an in-app clipboard.

This behaviour allowed me to paste the selection in a different app altogether. In my workflow, I draw my diagrams on the Squid app (Android), Select it > Copy > Switch to Notion > Paste. Neat Result.

Very few apps have implemented this behaviour (I have tried a lot of them). Another example I can think of with this copy-paste behaviour is Goodnotes on iOS (not very sure about it).

Highly helpful for mixed note-taking.
