Pygame TextBox Input Module

Features

This Class lets you write text at the blinking cursor.
Wraps text to the next line if it exceeds the max_width.
Enter, Delete, Home, End, Page Up and Page Down key works.
Cursor can be moved using arrow keys or click on character to jump directly.
Scrolling using mouse or scroll bar.
Text Selection using mouse.
Cut, Copy, Paste and Select all using shortcut.
Ctrl and Shift shortcut works.
It works just like you expect.

Using the Module

Its very simple to use this module. Create an object of the Class and then feed the update() with pygame-events.

It will create surfaces of each line and store it in list only when any changes are made in the input_string for efficient rendering. List can be get using get_surface().
Then call the render().
If you don't want the text object to be updated with events.
- Pass False to update().
- It will not take any input and it will not render cursor too indicating its inactive.

Some part of code is borrowed from Pygame Text Input under the MIT license.

Adding Ctrl+V / Ctrl+C functionality

I was wondering if you could add control copy + paste functionality into this class? I have some base code that would work to a degree, however I am not experienced enough to add it to your class. I've left the example of how to do so below.
pygame.scrap.init()
pygame.scrap.set_mode(pygame.SCRAP_CLIPBOARD)
#event loop
events = pygame.event.get()

    for event in events:
        if (event.type == pygame.QUIT):
            pygame.quit()
        if (event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN):
            # checking for ctrl + V
            if event.key == pygame.K_v and event.mod & pygame.KMOD_CTRL:
                 # adding text to a text box called promptBox, where .text is the thing that holds the text
                pasted_text =  pygame.scrap.get("text/plain;charset=utf-8").decode()
                promptBox.text = promptBox.text[:-1]
                promptBox.text += pasted_text

I did this using a different inputBox class, which is why i did .text, however I don't know how I could apply this functionality to your class, so I was wondering if you had any ideas?
