import {CrossTabCopyPaste} from '@blockly/plugin-cross-tab-copy-paste';

// Inject Blockly.
const workspace = Blockly.inject('blocklyDiv', {
  toolbox: toolboxCategories,
});

const options = {
  contextMenu: true,
  shortcut: true,
};

// Initialize plugin.
const plugin = new CrossTabCopyPaste();
plugin.init(options, () => {
  console.log('Use this error callback to handle TypeError while pasting');
});

// optional: Remove the duplication command from Blockly's context menu.
Blockly.ContextMenuRegistry.registry.unregister('blockDuplicate');

// optional: You can change the position of the menu added to the context menu.
Blockly.ContextMenuRegistry.registry.getItem('blockCopyToStorage').weight = 2;

  'blockPasteFromStorage',
).weight = 3;
```

## Options

- `contextMenu` `{boolean}`: Register copy, cut, and paste commands in the Blockly context menu.
