I guess "text/plain; charset=utf-8" covers 95% of the use cases. Personally I *very* rarely cut+paste anything beside plan text, and in case it is formated text it typically is something like markdown ;) > Interoperability > between OSes quickly becomes problematic for more advanced types, I am > afraid. (and various OS-specific clipboard & dnd details may raise) That too. I'll guess I start with text only, but of course keep the door open to add more later on. So I need some way to specify the type(s). Obvious choices are fixed list (like vnc/spice) or mime. The later is more flexible and future-proof of course, but I'm not sure we'll actually need that in practice ... take care, Gerd
