Can't enter Korean/Chinese/Japanese in textboxes (IME support)

[jmousy]

The original issue was about shortcut behavior in text fields (e.g. copy, paste) and CJK input. The shortcut behavior is now implemented and i'll leave this issue open for IME support.

1. Currently Ruffle does not support Korean, Japanese, or Chinese input in any text boxes in AVM1/2.
2. Ruffle does not support the "Right Alt" key (called "한/영" key in Korea) to switch between Korean and English.
3. Ruffle does not copy or paste Korean/Japanese/Chinese text.

This issue will probably be tracked here: #277

IME is a feature that hasn't been implemented in a very long time, and i'd really like to see it implemented for multilingual users.

Thanks,

I don’t know whether #2081 might fix this.

This is wrong in part, since I misunderstood something here. It will only fix issue 2.

Issue 1 might be fixed when #1862 is implemented.
