Imho copy & Paste is completely broken in Linux because every app does
its own thing about this
there are some apps that support the mouse copy&paste using the middle
mouse button
in some apps you have to use ctrl+c/v to copy&paste and on some apps
you can only insert stuff that you copied with ctrl+c
and sometimes nothing of the above will work.
The clipman plugin of the xfce panel reveals this and in my opinion
this is just awful.
Just had to tell everyone about this because this really is annoying am
I the only one who feels about this like that? Are there guidelines for
that?
