I use both because they use to different software registries to store the information. This allows the CTRL+C content to be different than the middle mouse highlight.
I cannot stand the Windows middle mouse user experience and always prefer the middle highlight and paste method.
- formerly_proven 10mo agoI find having two clipboards at the same time to be super handy and I literally use it all the time. Yes, KDE also has a clipboard manager that allows me to do Meta+V and paste from history, but I use the two clipboards way more frequently and it is easier/faster to, anyway. (Formally, it makes handwavy sense: Having a clipboard with a history is basically a pushdown automaton, but having two of these in one box is not a PDA any more - it's something categorically more powerful, equivalent to a turing machine iirc).
