I cannot copy anything from Safari nor paste anything into my url bar nor any textbox on websites. What shall I do?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), Safari 5.1.2
Have you tried using the 'Command key - C Key to copy, then - V Key to paste?
I have noticed that the copy commands are variable. try the command -c as posted above and if that doesn't work then use the Edit menu to select copy, paste etc.
Do you think I'm stupid?
That's precisely what I'm doing...
Have you got it figured out?
I restarted my Macbook and then reset Safari... it worked for a day but now the problem is back. The Edit menu is highlighted as I press command-V but there is no text being pasted.
When you used Safari reset it clears alot of accumulated data stuff. Perhaps you can do some maintenance proceedures which can help. Here is a link to a tip sheet by user d s store explaining how to do some of these things.

Some to consider would be:
2: PRAM reset
7. Hold Shift key boot for "Safe Mode"
11: Disk Utility > Repair Permissions
12: OnyX cache cleaning
If you want to try to delete the Safari prefs then this would be the way.
13: Corrupt Preferences files
Just be sure to export the bookmarks ( under the Safari file menu) so that you can import them if needed after trashing the Safari prefs
Glad I found this issue. This world today isn't ready for adults. Programming for any OS is for infants. Just typing this text is far too slow for Safari to even accept the keystrokes fast enough. Pretty world. HTML is the horror show. coloured buttons. Processors do the Big Brother job to monitor every tap and swipe of humans to log all this to me recorded and published to invade privacy, enabling corporate marketing. Today's hardware & software meld is all designed to cause mega slowdown freeze crash & reboot of System 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, to OS X the the way to El Capitan
we never got any improvements since 1970s, 1980s slow scrolling text on blackscreens, key-by-key to now have smoothscrolling
still locked in beachballs while loops beg mummydaddy internet resources. I see spinning disks collapsing grandscale soon
