Now do the same from xclipboard to the 2d LyX.
Drag-and-drop with the mouse works also without xclipboard. In some LyX versions, you need to copy (C-c with cua.bind) the marked region, before you can paste it somewhere else (with the middle mouse button). However, you will loose information this way as the x-selection only gets an ASCII version of the document. > Document to document within one LyX session (window) works without a hitch > and *almost* never looses formatting information. Feature request --------------- I would greatly appreciate a lyx-function (say x-copy) that passes a "stringified" version of the region with full formatting information to the selection and an accompanying x-paste that inserts this again. The same would be a great help for the lyx-server (say server-copy and server-paste). G�nter -- G.Milde web.de
