Hello.
As a teenager, I read about BeOS in a Finnish computer magazine. It
sounded really cool, so when my parents told me they were going to buy a
new family computer, I asked the computer store for a PC that could run
BeOS. The new computer had Windows on it, but I was able to run BeOS

Today I'm using mainly Ubuntu and I have been working on the
freedesktop.org clipboard specification. The current version should
be
more general than some older editions. Iirc the clipboard management

Our default BTextView class which is used almost everywhere text is
entered handles pasting at carret, and replacing selection.
Just for the record. This is something people typically fail at, while
they are implementing implicit pasting. The common error is that middle

well, the reason behind having all specs in one repo is to have them all
together, so that anyone wanting to do a change can get all of them from
the same place. Right now it seems to be hard to know where the source
of the spec is, so is there any way you could continue maintaining your
spec
you specifically *don't* want specifications to fork and be worked on
randomly; there is a low rate of edit conflict; having a clearly canonical
version is critical
Ok. It may be that dvcs would we a wrong solution for a real problem.
What I'm really concerned about is how hard it is
I suppose no-one is responsible for doing everyday
management tasks like this. Should I be asking for
permissions instead of trying to find a person to
do the work?

The patch I originally suggested for the specification raised some

I created a patch which sharpens the current specification in the way I

Well, the specification is really more of an explanation of the
current established way of handling X clipboards. Changing the
explanation will not do much other than making it not match any

Hi again.
My usage is that I do use them as two separate entities. When I select
with the mouse, I will paste with the MMB. When I Ctrl+C, I Ctrl+V.
This is especially interesting when using the clipboard to replace stuff:
select with mouse (sets PRIMARY), Ctrl+C (sets CLIPBOARD), select
13 matches
