You are talking about current lyx implementation and I am talking from
an user's point of view. From an user's point of view, there is no
such thing as internal clipboard or internal paste. There is only one
system clipboard and everything should paste from it.
You are still misunderstanding me:
"Paste" means "Paste as good as possible". We try here to preserve
formatting, layout, etc. In the future with proper MIME types this could
even come from the system clipboard.
"Paste Special" means "Paste as unformatted string". Here, we have two
options: "line" or "paragraph".
You see, even if we use exclusively the system clipoard, the three menu
items should stay.
The same arguments fit the three LFUN_PASTE case.
The same explanation as above applies here.
