Not sure I understand the question, so apologies if my attempt at a response does not make sense. As far as I know a text-only clipboard is integral to both REBOL and Linux --- no need for extra libraries. Examples in the REBOL console: print read clipboard:// write clipboard:// "copied text" do load clipboard:// Sunanda.

Thanks. I was wondering what library handled it to begin with, not about an extra one. Looking through /lib/ has not given me a clue. Searching the web has narrowed it down a bit, but still no real answer. Maybe I should have flagged this "off topic," but maybe someone will want to write their own clipboard routines... -tom

The clipboard on Linux is implemented using X11 selections. See http://freedesktop.org/Standards/ClipboardsWiki. If you look at the Qt source code you can find a working example in qclipboard_x11.cpp. The REBOL clipboard still seems to be broken on Linux. Using rebview1247042 I can copy from X to REBOL, but not the other way around. -Karl
