Thanks James, unfortunately the method that you demonstrate there doesn't work with my configuration. Nothing happens when I try that method with Firefox, and when I try it with Internet Explorer then IE asks me if I want to open the file. Maybe that functionality is specific to Chrome? It would be great to extend it to other browsers.

Hi Trevor,
I tried a CSV copy and paste as you suggested, but that doesn't work for me.
Ah, no, CSV and TSV support is for drag-and-drop, not copy-and-paste (which is plain text content):

Drag-and-drop of plain text and HTML files inserts the contents, as you might expect.
Once it's something that the UploadWizard team can support, we plan that drag-and-drop of files will upload them to Commons (with a prompt for licensing, naturally) and insert them in context. This is something I'm quite keen to see. :-)
Hope this helps.
