Fixes desktop-control takeover input problems in Canvas/noVNC.

User-visible symptoms:

  • copy/paste did not work in the Display tab
  • Caps Lock / Shift-modified keys were unreliable while the noVNC desktop was focused

Changes:

  • mark the noVNC desktop wrapper with data-display-stream
  • make canvas/global shortcuts ignore events targeted at the desktop stream, so Shift/Caps/remote shortcuts reach noVNC
  • focus the RFB canvas on connect and mouse-down
  • forward browser paste events into RFB.clipboardPasteFrom()
  • receive remote clipboard events and expose Copy/Paste controls for browser clipboard-permission fallback
  • extend noVNC typings and focused tests

Verification:

  • npm test -- --run src/components/tabs/__tests__/DisplayTab.test.tsx src/components/canvas/__tests__/useKeyboardShortcuts.test.tsx => 46 passed
  • npm run build => passed; existing warnings only
  • npx tsc --noEmit --pretty false was attempted but the repo currently has unrelated pre-existing test typing failures across many test files, so it is not a useful gate for this change.
Fixes desktop-control takeover input problems in Canvas/noVNC. User-visible symptoms: - copy/paste did not work in the Display tab - Caps Lock / Shift-modified keys were unreliable while the noVNC desktop was focused Changes: - mark the noVNC desktop wrapper with `data-display-stream` - make canvas/global shortcuts ignore events targeted at the desktop stream, so Shift/Caps/remote shortcuts reach noVNC - focus the RFB canvas on connect and mouse-down - forward browser paste events into `RFB.clipboardPasteFrom()` - receive remote clipboard events and expose Copy/Paste controls for browser clipboard-permission fallback - extend noVNC typings and focused tests Verification: - `npm test -- --run src/components/tabs/__tests__/DisplayTab.test.tsx src/components/canvas/__tests__/useKeyboardShortcuts.test.tsx` => 46 passed - `npm run build` => passed; existing warnings only - `npx tsc --noEmit --pretty false` was attempted but the repo currently has unrelated pre-existing test typing failures across many test files, so it is not a useful gate for this change.

Approved. Focused Canvas/noVNC input fix: display-targeted keys bypass Canvas/global shortcuts, paste is forwarded via RFB.clipboardPasteFrom, remote clipboard is surfaced with browser-permission fallback controls. Verified focused tests (46 passed), npm run build, and Gitea action runs 88387-88402 resolved Success via mol_action_status.
