- silon3 13y agoAgreed. I could live with this change, too. To bad gnome shell ruined gnome usability in other ways, so it's no longer relevant.
- username42 13y agoI am curious of your grief against gnome shell. Since Ubuntu has switched to unity, I have lost a lot of time to find an alternative. I am satisfied with Ubuntu-Gnome that I have installed on the computer of my father. I intend to switch all my computers to Ubuntu-Gnome. Maybe you have found issues that could annoys me also.
- cs02rm0 13y agoIf you merge them won't you either lose the highlight-copy or have the highlight-copy throw out your explicitly copied text? I like having the two separate, that would be a retrograde step as far as I'm concerned.
- vacri 13y agoWhen I moved from Windows to Linux, the addition of the 'selection' clipboard was the easiest change, and quickest to pick up. It's really not hard. You have the same ctrl-c-v clipboard as always. In addition to that, there is another clipboard for the last selected item, deliverable with a middle click. It's a good feature, not a wart.
