Describe what you would like to have

When I'm looking into the logs I see a text that I want to search, there is already an option to copy:

But there is no option to paste in the Search request.

Potential Workaround

So far I have to type the text.

Hello @cdamken , sorry for being late with the feedback. Am I right, you would like to see the option Paste in the context menu of search-input?

[DmitryAstafyev]

@cdamken Does it mean that ctrl + V (cmd + V) doesn't work for you as a way to paste copied text?

The issue seems to be that the RMB doesn't create a context menu in the search input leave alone show the Paste option. This seems to be confusing as we show the Copy option inside the main view.

I think it'd be good if we not only provide the Paste option in the search input but anywhere we can type (e.g. editing filter name, filtering notifications, etc.)

I wanted to expand on this. From what I can tell, on Mac OS 13.0.1 (Apple Silicon) Paste of any kind does not work within the "Search Request" Text box. No Keyboard Shortcuts, right click paste options, nothing like that.

• still no context menu shown
• same for favorites etc. chipmunk:
