Why is this not on Windows. This sounds actually cool.

[–] grue@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Because Windows doesn't have two different copy/paste mechanisms like X does.

(X has "highlight text to copy"/"middle-click to paste" and "ctrl-c to copy"/"ctrl-v to paste", which have completely different origins (homegrown Unix vs. copying Windows) and don't even share the same clipboard. Frankly, although it can be useful it's also kind of a mess.)

Agreed. It’s a huge mess.
