Cut & Copy does not work on iPad OS

[daybrush]

• VSCode Version: 1.45.1
• OS Version: iPad 13.5

Steps to Reproduce:

I found in this part that forcibly returned empty.

vscode/src/vs/editor/browser/controller/textAreaHandler.ts

Lines 182 to 188 in 1fd3957

	getScreenReaderContent: (currentState: TextAreaState): TextAreaState => {
	if (browser.isIPad) {
	// Do not place anything in the textarea for the iPad
	return TextAreaState.EMPTY;
	}

Is there a reason? If I remove this part, it works fine.

The currentState contains the selection range and cursor position.

TextAreaState is forcibly empty, so the textarea value and selection range cannot be updated.

I tried this in Codespaces (insiders) and I just can't get it to work.

• No keybindings work (Cmd + C/V or Ctrl + C/V)
• The Edit -> Copy menu item doesn't seem to copy (I pasted using the paste button in the keyboard and it didn't paste what I copied)

I'm fairly new to iPad but I figured at least one of these methods would have worked so I'm reopening.
