revert: drop clipboard yank/paste and modal dropdowns

Browse Source 
The vim clipboard integration was unreliable across browsers
(library "+" register broken on Firefox; custom navigator.clipboard
actions worked on Chrome but hit chip prompts and Firefox config
edge cases). The modal dropdown layer added more state than it
saved keystrokes. Pulling both back out.

What remains of the vim work:
  - CodeMirror + @replit/codemirror-vim in the input buffer
    (i/Esc, hjkl, word/line motions, yy/p via vim's internal
    register, undo, /, :)
  - Shift-H / Shift-L focus navigation across controls, including
    the H/L override inside the editor so it works from any focus

## [Unreleased]
### Added
- Vim bindings in the input via CodeMirror 6 + `@replit/codemirror-vim` (loaded from esm.sh, no build step). Supports `i`/`Esc`, `hjkl`, word/line motions, `dd`/`yy`/`p`, undo/redo, `/` search, `:` command line. Auto-disabled on touch devices (detected via `(pointer: coarse)`) where modal editing fights the virtual keyboard.
- Vim bindings in the input via CodeMirror 6 + `@replit/codemirror-vim` (loaded from esm.sh, no build step). Supports `i`/`Esc`, `hjkl`, word/line motions, `dd`/`yy`/`p` (vim's internal register), undo/redo, `/` search, `:` command line. Auto-disabled on touch devices (detected via `(pointer: coarse)`) where modal editing fights the virtual keyboard.
- `Shift-H` / `Shift-L` cycle focus across the page controls (source → target → model → editor → button) like `Shift-Tab` / `Tab`. Also overridden in vim normal mode (replacing vim's viewport-top/bottom default) so the same shortcut works to leave the editor.
- `yy` / `Y` and visual-mode `y` in the editor copy to the system clipboard via custom `navigator.clipboard.writeText()` actions (the library's `+` register is broken on Firefox). Bare `y<motion>` (e.g. `yw`, `y$`) still uses vim's internal register — that path would need a deeper hook into the library's register system.
- `p` / `P` in vim normal mode paste from the system clipboard at / before the cursor via `navigator.clipboard.readText()`. Browsers may show a one-time permission prompt or chip; granting clipboard-read for the origin makes future calls silent. On Firefox, ensure `dom.events.asyncClipboard.readText` is `true` (default in recent versions) or the read will be blocked.
- Vim-style modal navigation on the From / To / Model dropdowns (default NORMAL):
- `j` / `k` move selectedIndex down / up (works whether the dropdown is open or collapsed; uses document-level capture-phase listener so Firefox plays along)
- `/` or `i` enters search mode — letter keys then do native typeahead; accent-coloured border indicates it
- `Esc` returns to normal mode; blur also resets so the next focus starts in normal
- On page load, the model dropdown defaults to whichever model Ollama already has hot — skips the 5-15 s disk-reload pain on the first translation. After load it follows the user's manual selection.
