slyrus: Found some issues with my implementation that I need to fix before proposing to merge

loke: Will that protocol work with other operating systems? I can't see why it wouldn't.

By the way, did you know that the old implementation allows you to shift-middle-click in _any_ stream pane to request a paste? It does sends all the events to the primary selection owner, but simply don't insert the result.

I intend to implement a support for a Local-only implementation (that only supporst copy&paste within a single Lisp image)

pillton
loke: Sure, but does the copy and paste mechanism on other platforms fit the abstraction?

loke
Of course, if you make a request and say that you absolutely, positively only want an image, and the backend doesn't support pasting of images, you'll get nothing. But that's no different from the case where the backend does support and image, but there is only text in the clipboard.

loke: Ok. Just checking. I was surprised by your description of X11's mechanism and thought other systems might have equally weird behaviour.

pillton: I honstly don't know much about how the other systems work, but I can't even think of a system that would be so bizarre that it wouldn't fit in this scheme.
