Yet, none of them have bothered to post where the right-mouse cut/paste menu choices fail to work as expected.
This issue is most troublesome because select is captured. Therefore, in some applications, you cannot select what you want to replace because the selected text-to-be replaced becomes the text-that-you-want-to-replace-it-with. -;)
Is that the already-fixed KDE bug? Where does a simple select replace what you right-mouse/copied?
In some applications neither ctrl-c nor ctrl-v work at all.
And right-mouse/copy?
I would be very happy if ctrls c, x and v would work the way they are expected to work across the board.
I expect control-c to interrupt and kill an application as it has for decades. Why would you want to change that?
That the functionality seems to vary among applications (along with right-click, middle-click and shift-insert) makes life a whole lot more complicated than it should be. Sometimes, it is rather frustrating if you are moving text around a great deal between applications and sometimes the command line.
Still, no one has said what doesn't work with right-mouse/copy and paste. I use those with synergy making a single keyboard/mouse span several machines, both Linux and windows and there are few exceptions to right-mouse copy/paste working the same even when the clipboard gets dragged over to a different OS.
