Subject: [PATCH] fix: split space-separated event names in input listeners

addEventListener matches the type argument as a single literal string, so
"copy paste" and "select selectstart" registered listeners for events that
can never fire. Both are jQuery .on() syntax, which accepts space-separated
lists; the DOM API does not.

Register each event separately so copy/paste prevention on the words input
works as intended.
