Potential extensions of the AscII editor

Mar 9 - Jimmy: I think the best way to implement this is a toolbar style format Jimmy cont: We can use the filled area at the top to put the name of fantaskii

1) We should make a box selector, 2) copy and paste, *3) download as txt, 4) download as html, 5) vertical typing, *6) ascII paint brush, 7) Loading a TXT file as a canvas 8) The ability to interpolate other canvases over each 
other. 9) Special characters selector box/selector boxes in general.
 Kind of like a color picker for characters. 10) Using this ability to interpolate canvases and upload TXT files, we should make a small library of stock txt "images" and "shapes", just like all sorts of editors tend to have :) Of 
course, another thing to do is figure out
	a) how to use OpenCV to load images, b) how to resize them, c) to make an ability to turn one into an AscII Canvas.
*11) Use Enter to pop back down to the original spot where the typing started, make arrow keys do similar in typing mode. 12) Copy and paste of text boxes as well, maybe we could even find a way of interpolating the clip board onto 
the askii canvas. 13) Make history with crtZ 14) Possibly make a seperate Editor class, which inherits from Canvas 15) Hold down key while using arrow keys to draw with the arrow keys 17) make circle drawer 18) make rectangle drawer


Mar 25 - August(how to implement copy and paste)

I've been looking into how to access the user's clipboard, and this may not be as straightforward as it seems. Firefox doesn't suppoert most of the solutions, and the solutions that do exist require special permision from the user 
every time the clipboard is used. 

I think an easier way would be to make a makeshift "clipboard" on our own. When, say Ctr + Alt + U to paste, and Ctr + Alt + K to copy. Then we could just have a special variable in the program ,specified upon initialization, as the 
CopiedText variable. This is then accessed to paste, and altered to copy.
