Paste (and copy) are broken on Safari

Trying to copy/paste in safari using cmd + c / cmd + v on latest Safari and term.js (v0.0.7) doesn't work.

The keypress handler swallows cmd + c, and doesn't let the browser do its thing.

Paste events are tricky in Safari - you need some kind of input element or contenteditable target for the paste event to fire. Traditional workarounds include catching a keydown for cmd + v and quickly focusing an editable element and catching paste on that.

Upon further investigation I think the proper course of action is probably for term.js to always have a hidden input element. It seems like it already does this in a limited fashion for mobile browsers. A hidden text element will allow you to much more reliably capture paste events.

Hello, can you test the firefox patch https://github.com/chjj/term.js/issues/51 ? it fix also for Chrome. But CTRL+C don't work also in firefox (it deselect the text) but menubar copy work.
