Ethan Grammatikidis dixit (2011-04-04, 02:34): XFCE terminal binds ctrl-shift-C/V to clipboard copy/paste. They're not great bindings but they're memorable. Someone mentioned shift- insert, was that for clipboard or selection paste? Shift-insert reminds me of DOS edit.exe which used that

3. I really like urxvt(1)s urlLauncher functionality. Copy+Pasting URLs is a PITA, especially on laptops without a middle mouse button for pasting. What do you all think about it? Middle-button paste is (unfortunately) effectively brain-damaged for at least half the hardware out

While I understand wanting applications to adhere to the Unix Philosophy, it seems to me that inputting and outputting text is what a terminal essentially does and copying pasting is just a small extension of that role. I'd like to see a sane way of copying pasting with the keyboard, rather than

Unfortunatelly, many X applications aren't compatible with just UTF8_STRING, so we'll have to do a little more. The patch below checks COMPOUND_TEXT, UTF8_STRING and XA_STRING targets. It makes it more complicated and possibly ugly, but it works... It would be nice to respond with all three
