I think you'll need to include an Edit menu with the normal shortcuts 
(Cut/Copy/Paste) - make sure the tag of the items is correct as the 
engine uses those to map them to the internal (Cocoa) references. e.g.

   (Cu&t /X|cut
   (&Copy /C|copy
   (&Paste /V|paste

Cocoa-based controls (which the browser widget uses the WebView variant 
of) don't respond to shortcuts directly, but only via menu item 
accelerators - so the browser widget needs the menu items present for 
such shortcuts to work.

Warmest Regards,

Mark.
