Agreed. That sort of copy-paste is part of Swing, and not of Jmol itself... Drag-and-drop would be part of Jmol, and this is something on my wishlist: - to drag a file (or URL!) from my internet browser, drop it on Jmol, and then Jmol loads that file Not that difficult to implement. It just requires some knowledge about Jmol specific copy-paste implementation, i.e. a copy-paste functionality for the rendering panel... that is not covered by Swing... That c-p function would just serialize the displayed content into MDL mol, CML and XYZ and put all three on the clipboard. D-and-d is then a simple extension, as I have been told.... And the copy-paste would allow easy exchange of data between Jmol and other chemical programs like ChemDraw, Isis/Draw, JChemPaint, etc...
