[Gambas-user] clipboard

[Beren Scott]

Is it because technically linux doesn't have a clipboard, and that
simply put the copy command simply applies a reference to the location
of the item you have copied, and then when you paste, it looks up the
item you wish to paste?

I guess I am trying to find some type of work around, because the
program simply will not function successfully without the ability to
copy an item into clipboard. Take for example, it's like this, I have
Opera browser, and I want the program to generate URL's, and then I want
to using the ctrl - shift V command paste and go. It's all about speed.

Now, if there is an alternative way to do this, I'd love it. The other
alternative could be to design a browser into the program itself?
Though, I'm not much of a coder, but I'm willing to give it a go if need
be.

I have a mission, and that is to complete this program, rofl, I am half
tempted to convert the program to c++, but to be honest, I'd rather do
it in basic, been programming in basic most my life, so not giving up
yet. Any chance of a change to the way gambas handles clipboard
functions?
