In Qt, although the clipboard is ‘system wide’, you’ve still got to write code to hook your cut/copy/paste menu in. I presume there’s been something done in libmeegotouch too as a LOT of the commits over the last couple of months have been related to text selection and cut/paste.

I presume app developers still have to write the hook code but it looks like at the deeper OS level there’s something else going on.

Cut and paste in Mail and the browser is the main ones for me. It’s maddening that someone will send me an email with text in they need updated on a website and I can’t cut out of mail and into the browser or even terminal.
