Hello everyone, it’s been a while but sometime last year the playground received an update that broke the “long-press” event on Android.
After that the copy or paste couldn’t be used in the playground anymore.
Since this change I’ve been using coding apps but they are not as convenient as having the playground.
Thank you in advance.
PS: I couldn’t find the code of the editor in the repo.
Hello 
As far as I know, the repo doesn’t contain the code of the editor itself, since it’s based on Monaco Editor. Most of the code is here and it’s about feeding the editor with some code, handle the code snippets, etc…
I had never noticed the lack of long press on Android, but indeed some researches suggest that it’s a well known problem on Monaco side : here, here, here, etc…
What surprises me is that the problem on Monaco side seems to exist for longer than a year. Are you sure that it was working last year ? 
Let’s wait for the official devs to give more info about that, maybe at a time they had coded something specific for mobile copy/paste

Hey @Tricotou, thanks for digging into that. Maybe it worked was working 2 years ago instead of 1 but definitely no more that that.
I used to code on my phone and it was working for sure.
Yeah, let’s wait for the official devs.
Btw, thanks for sharing the source code, that’s why I couldn’t find the editor.
Hey!
We haven’t updated the Monaco editor in the playground for a long time. Probably 2-3 years. But it is on our roadmap, so it will eventually be fixed. @Tricotou is right - this is a monaco feature, which seams to be a bit broken at the moment
I am glad to hear! If I have some free time I can try to take a look at that.
This is definitely not a priority because I can use other apps, but would be nice to have.
