I agree that the interface should be kept clean, and we should definitely not introduce any checkbox, but there is also a tendency to remove expert features that have been existing for a long time because people do not see the need. I don't like that either. > do we really care about applications that do not support the clipboard? > > in any case we wouldn't want to clutter the interface with it and i > suggest to get rid of these menu entries at least under windows... That is a different problem. These menu entries should of course not exist if there is no selection support. I will implement that if we decide to keep them in general and if we are not going to use the clipboard as Enrico wants it. I will also implement proper enabling/disabling of these lfuns in getStatus, that is currently missing. Georg
