Different programs use different conventions. For example, shift+insert does not do the same thing in say, xterm and firefox.
- zorbo 12y agoInteresting. I only noticed now that shift-insert in Firefox doesn't use PRIMARY but CLIPBOARD. I'm so used to middle mouse button paste that I never noticed. This is probably due to Firefox not using a native graphical toolkit.

- kzrdude 12y agoChromium is slow to deliver the clipboard too (just containing text), so you press ctrl+v and wait for several seconds. Chromium and some others take the clipboard with them when the app is Quit, suddenly the clipboad is cleared.
- pwnna 12y agoReally? I use chromium on the odd occasion and never have to wait.. nor have I ever noticed the clearing of clipboard..
