- mcny 8y agoI say good riddance to multiple clipboards. We had to fight hard to get rid of it. It is really tiring having to fight off nonsense unintuitive behavior in software.
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoHow are you having to fight it off? If you don't middle click or hit shift-insert, it's invisible. But I find it really useful to trivially move text around with so little friction.

There should be just one clipboard by default and by standard. If some people want non-standard behavior, they are welcome to change things in their dot files or whatever but the default behavior should be sensible. I am not saying copy paste should not be available by middle click or shift insert. What I am saying is that the contents of the two clipboards should be the same by default.
- yjftsjthsd-h 8y agoI still don't see what the problem is with leaving them both available by default. You're not harmed by having a second clipboard available if you never use it. As to setting them to the same content by default: I actually tried that once, because in some ways it would be nice to only have one clipboard to think about, but the problem is that as long as you have the feature enabled that automatically copies anything you select, it's incredibly annoying to work with. And I wouldn't want to disable that feature, because it's most of the convenience that makes the select buffer worth having.
