I haven't looked at this, but I imagine the renderer probably is not currently allowed to copy data at arbitrary times to the clipboard. The browser knows when a copy operation was requested by the user, so presumably for normal web pages, it is asking the renderer what the current selection is at the right time. However, extensions could be special cased since they run in a more privileged type of renderer. Yes, we need the permissions system setup to enable this in the real world, but there's no reason we couldn't start work on this earlier. The IPC stuff is not hard. We have lots of plumbing set up for it already. If anyone is interested in helping here, let me know. - a --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Discussion mailing list: [email protected] View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-discuss -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
