HCL Domino Ideas Portal
Welcome to the #dominoforever Product Ideas Forum! The place where you can submit product ideas and enhancement request. We encourage you to participate by voting on, commenting on, and creating new ideas. All new ideas will be evaluated by HCL Product Management & Engineering teams, and the next steps will be communicated. While not all submitted ideas will be executed upon, community feedback will play a key role in influencing which ideas are and when they will be implemented.
You generally cannot paste an arbitrary file from your file system (e.g., something you copied in Explorer/Finder) into a website with Ctrl+V, because:
The OS clipboard stores files as file references, not data the web can read. When you Ctrl+C a file in your file manager, the clipboard holds a file path/reference in an OS-specific format. JavaScript in a browser is sandboxed and has no permission to read arbitrary local file paths — that would be a massive security hole (any site could silently grab files from your disk).
The File System Access boundary requires explicit user intent. Browsers only grant access to a file when the user explicitly designates it through a trusted, browser-controlled UI gesture: clicking
<input type="file">(the native file picker) or dragging-and-dropping a file onto a dropzone. Both are treated as the user actively handing the file to the page. A keyboard paste has no equivalent "I'm consciously giving you this specific file" trust signal for filesystem files.
