I am not so sure that this is so difficult. I believe that LyXTabular could be used (not the inset). > My proposal is to remove internal clipboard altogether > and use boost::serialization to serialize everything to system > clipboard.

Unfortunately using boost::serialization will not solve the problem of the two disconnected clipboards for table/nontable stuff. You would still need to keep track of what was the latest copy operation and whether it is multicell stuff or single cell stuff. I don't think that boost::serialization can automagically transform a LyXtabular into a ParagraphList or vice versa :-) Therefore some sort of grid is still needed if you want to merge the two clipboards. > I will submit my patch and let us talk about this after 1.5.0.
