No. Or yes? I coukld imagine that it implements a fake selection like we do here. In that case we would not need to do that ourselves.

No. What Enrico wants and what would be OK with me is to use the system clipboard contents for middle mouse button paste if there is no selection in LyX. > This is not the same under X11.

I think the windows users should first agree on something they like before we proceed any further. Georg
