If Qooxdoo blocks direct access to copy/paste functionality for this
type of table structure, it would be really great if it could implement
an interface to the clipboard functionality in the OS. It would allow
you to add a "Copy" button that could write some value to the clipboard
for pasting outside of the app without the need to create a textfield
that would then need to be copied again by the end user. I know that
there are probably security restrictions on this type of functionality
from Javascript, but wondered if it had been considered.
Is this on the radar screen for Qooxdoo at all? It sounds like it would
really help Alexander and probably others as well.
Thanks,
Gene
