<para>
An #EphyCommandManager is an interface to an #EphyEmbed which is used to perform
commands, such as cut/copy/paste. To perform any command, use
ephy_command_manager_do_command(). To test the availability of a command, use
ephy_command_manager_can_do_command(). The availability of commands depends on
the selection and actions previously performed in the #EphyEmbed. For instance,
%cmd_copy is only available if text has been selected; %cmd_undo is only
available if the user has a text input focused and has typed or erased some of
its text.

<para>
The #EphyCommandManager interface can perform any command which is defined in
Mozilla. However, for purposes of abstraction, only a certain subset of commands
should be used:
