Description

I would love to have support for editing elements, and pasting multiple element in the combobox.

Use case
The User Management section of Kibana uses the EUI combobox, and I was experimenting with a bunch of roles. I wanted to add/remove multiple rows add a time using my clipboard, and I had to do this one-by-one because there is no copy/paste support. A couple of examples:

It is not possible to select multiple roles and copy/cut them:
cut doesn;t work

It is not possible to paste roles:
paste doesn;t work

Gmail handles email adresses similar to combobox. An email can both be copied, pasted and edited:
