Hi,
Any chance there's been any progress on a better command-C system
for copying out of X11 and into other apps?
I think the big change we all agreed would be an improvement was
that when command-C is pressed, whatever (in the current system) would be
copied into the aqua clipboard on a later command-V should instead be copied
immediately.
There were other particulars about what exactly should be copied on
command-C (because X11 may have multiple clipboards, in a sense), but I
think everyone agreed that the "command-C is a promise to copy, not an
actual copy" system didn't really make sense from an X11 UI perspective or a
OSX UI perspective.
Any further thoughts? I bring this up because this issue frustrates
me and wastes my time 10 or more times PER DAY, at work, at home, and even
at sleep.
(My motivation for bringing this up is partially the fact that it
hasn't been mentioned in a long time...but also that I dreamed last night
that switching out of x11 de-selected any selected text in any x11 window,
causing me to be unable to copy anything from an x11 window...it was
frustrating. :) )
