Unfortunately not ;-( getClipboard() is misnamed, it really acts like a hypotheticaal getSelection(), because it is used for middle-mouse-button-copy/paste. See http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fclipboards_2dspec for an overview over the differences between clipboard/selection. The most important point is that the selection gets automatically filled, while the clipboard gets only filled by explicit user request. The correct fix would rename getClipboard() to getSelection() and implement a new getClipboard() that would not be used for the middle mouse button, but for external copy/paste via an lfun/menu entry. It would be very nice if you could do something like that. See also http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2138, that demands a bit more: Copy/Paste with system clipboard and not only text, but any format that LyX can import, including native LyX. Georg
