Attaching listeners for standard DOM events

[djgrant]

Is there a way to attach listeners for standard DOM events like copy, for example?

As far as I can see, this won't work as it's not a famous:event or a $dispatcher event:

events: {
  '#el': {
    'copy': function($dispatcher) {
      console.log(e);
   }
}

There doesn't seem to be a way to access the DOM node directly from with event. $dispatcher exposes a virtual DOM node for the host component but even event listeners attached to them do not show up once the DOM tree is created. $DOMElement doesn't expose a node so it's a no go either.

Any ideas?

Have you seen the previous issue? I'm not sure if it works for a copy event, but it works for an input event (and supposed to work for others).

input is a native UI event from famous:events

Oh right, I see.
