Comment (by gcorne):

 Patch attachment:26959-02.patch demonstrates a possible technique for
 handling cut, copy, and paste of a selected gallery block. It works by
 creating a hidden div with the shortcode that is selected when the block
 is selected on {{{mousedown}}}.  This results in the shortcode being
 copied. It seems to work okay in Chrome, FF, and IE, although there are
 some caret and scroll issues that would need to be cleaned up.

 While I am happy to finally have figured out how to get this to work, I am
 not sure if this solution is ideal. It may be better to just select the
 view wrapper and all descendants, and then make sure that when
 (re)introduced into the editor, make sure that they are wired up with the
 appropriate Backbone views.

 It is also worth noting that CKEditor introduced a
 [http://ckeditor.com/demo#widgets widget plugin] in version 4.3 that
 accomplishes at least some of what we are trying to do with the
 {{{wpview}}} TinyMCE plugin.
