Very easy to implement... see attached.

You don't know how many times I select/copy something outside LyX and then
expect to paste it by middle mouse button.

I do that quite often, too, but I don't use any windows app that supports it, so I usually get used to that after a short time.

I happened to also like this behaviour. Any objection if I commit this?

Yes. Strong objections, since this is a bad hack, and it is incomplete, too (you would have to do the same at least in math, maybe other insets, too).

Tabular too yes.


If you want a selection on windows, implement one in src/frontends/qt4/GuiSelection.C by emulating it with the clipboard. That would be a clean solution, and it would automatically work for every inset.

I have an even simpler solution, see attached.


The first (and most difficult) step would be to outline how this is supposed to work. When should the selection be filled? When should it be emptied?

With this patch, there is no distinction between theSelection and theClipboard on windows.
