Your user account might not have permissions to edit the project. Can you share a URL to the project you are editing?

@pawelpeksa, that doesn’t appear to apply to the new VSC-based “Web IDE”. Instead, all I see is a disabled “Paste” context menu entry upon right-click.

F2 works. [1] That’s not very friendly to touch-screen users, though:
