NSPopover logic in NotedApp.swift: MenuBarPopoverApp: App var appDelegateĬlass AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate. TextEditor in ContentView.swift: TextEditor(text: $userData.note) My app doesn't do this (presumably because it's a popover). Usually, when you open an app, you'd see the app name and the relevant menu options in the top left of the Mac menu bar (next to the Apple logo). Anytime you use the common shortcuts Command/+X (cut) or Command/+ C (copy), your Mac handily stores what you copy onto the Clipboard. It’s the macOS program that helps you transfer your images and texts from one place to another when you copy and paste on MacBook. I believe it has something to do with the fact that when you click to open the popover, macOS doesn't 'focus' on the app. Clipboard functionality is a lifesaver for Mac users. The copy/paste/cut options still appear in the right-click menu, but I'm not sure why I can't use keyboard shortcuts to access them in the NSPopover. I know TextEditors do support these shortcuts because if I start a new project in XCode and I don't put it in a NSPopover (I just put it into a regular Mac app, for example), it works.

The app is centred around a TextEditor (new in Big Sur), but that TextEditor doesn't seem to respond to the typical Cmd + C/V/X keyboard shortcuts for copying, pasting, and cutting. I'm making an app for the macOS menu/status bar in SwiftUI that when clicked on, opens a NSPopover.
