You can include mac users too, not just windows users. They too expect the clipboard to behave this way.
Does the clipboard manager in kde handle anything other then text? I would guess it doesn't. This is why I want this properly implemented. As for the selection method of those who want it, if the majority of linux users want it, then that means the majority of linux users are technical. And those who want linux to be made for the masses have to realize that a badly designed feature like the selection based clipboard will only confuse them. It's one of the many reasons why I don't use linux as a desktop. Of course the moment I say this, I'm then told that linux isn't for me. If so, who is it for exactly? Clearly the selection based method was only put in because you couldn't use ctrl+c in a terminal emulator. That's the only reason. And because of that, it shouldn't hold back linux from having a proper clipboard. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but don't applications that don't want the selection based clipboard have to exclude it? I guess that's why firefox doesn't support it. If there users on linux don't want it, how many linux users actually want it? My guess is not that many. Just the ones who do want it are louder then the rest. Here is my guess on how the clipboard works on mac since it seems it has more then one clipboard: 1. One type for text 2. Another type for audio 3. Another type for video 4. Another type for images 5. Another type for files/directories If it works this way, then that means you have application interoperability. 2 completely different applications for say editing audio, could copy sound bytes back and forth between each other. I don't see windows doing this. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/865885 Title: implement proper clipboard in wayland To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wayland/+bug/865885/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
