Sadly, probably yes, it might be a hassle.
First, adding such a feature would conflict with another on my list, which
would be to use the host's cut/copy/past menus to transfer information
between the Palm and the host's clipboard.
Second, just what are "the Palm equivalents for Copy/Cut/Paste?" I suppose
you mean the menu items that you see in the menu bar. But how is Poser
supposed to get those items? It can't just assume that /C, /X, and /P map
to copy, cut and paste. The application may be using those short cuts for
something else. Neither can Poser look up the text "Cut", "Copy", "Paste"
in the menus -- what if the application is in French or German?
Even if we assume English and look up the menu items. Assuming they exist,
what do we do with them? How does Poser "select" them? Posting the
appropriate key sequences works if there are any associated with the menu
items. But what if there aren't?
What if the menu's not even loaded?
I'm not saying that it's impossible. I'm just saying that yes, it might be
kind of a hassle.

Would it be much of a hassle to map Ctrl-C/X/V etc to the Palm equivalents
for Copy/Cut/Paste?
