    While I was trying to find a solution for beginning a Unity project, I discovered something rather limiting in the learning process.

    The page in question is this, but it probably applies to all pages on learn.unity.com:

    https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/placing-and-manipulating-objects-in-ar

    There are text fields on this page with code. You can select the code, but using copy/paste (either keyboard shortcuts or contextual menus) does not work. I have confirmed it works with other sites (github, stack overflow) so it is a peculiar limitation built into the learn.unity.com website that shouldn't be there.

    I have found numerous posts on forums, specific to unity, where people are having trouble copy/pasting but none of the helpers are asking 'which' site is giving problems... I'm fairly certain it is the learn.unity.com site.

    A workaround for now on macosx is to use chrome, select text and drag/drop to textedit or another editing program, but that isn't ideal.

    Fixing the website to allow copy/paste would be better.
