How to keep the > clipboard...? this is normal in x - copy & paste is a transaction between 2 clients. "copy" or "cut" simply has the source app own the selection - it says it owns it. when you paste the target app you paste in then requests the data from the source app (they negotiate a common format) then the data is transferred. if the original app is gone - this transaction cannot take place as the selection owner is gone and no negotiation and transfer can happen.n this has been x11 selections (and wayland too) ever since day 0. you could try a clipboard manager that basically pasts to itself whenever it sees a new selection owner and then stores this... and it becomes the selection owner... -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- Carsten Haitzler - [email protected] _______________________________________________ enlightenment-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-users
