@pichlo: thank you! Plus: I fully agree with you regarding selecting and copying ("Some questionable decisions in the VKB design. Whose genius idea was it to combine select and copy into a single action? So I cannot select a piece of text and replace it with the contents of the clipboard because the act of selecting puts it in the clipboard. Arrrgh! ")

I have a friend who at this point would berate you for your Windows ctrl+c ctrl+v heresy. But he still calls it a buffer.
Until I started using the N900, that is. Then I had to learn

Seriously, what do you mean? Silica components support copy and paste, globally. If I select text in an application, it gets copied to the clipboard and I can paste it into text controls elsewhere. Do you just mean the poor support for it in the browser? You can still paste into text fields, and do both from the address bar. Saying that Sailfish has no global copy and paste is a bit dishonest when you just mean the browser application.
Unless they've changed it recently and I've not noticed, Mail is a prime example. To copy text out of an email you have to first reply to a mail so it's quoted in your reply. Then you can copy text out as it's an input now.
But, I wouldn't call people dishonest. When you've an OS that is missing so many 3rd party apps you have to rely on the browser a lot so having a substandard browser there too is a second slap in the face. The browser could solve the app issue but two years on, it's still frustrating.

Always found that really awkward after using Macs, Amiga, BeOS, Later Windows. I must use Command-ZXCVEFG dozens if not hundreds of times a day for the clipboard/buffers on a Mac while editing.

It doesn't even seem to be a registered issue on the project! WTF! Someone go copy and paste all this into a new issue and... oh wait.

Ok fair enough, I can see how it might be helpful, but yeah it would interfere in e.g. lists that have a long-hold menu or similar.

And just as a side-question: what is a celebutroll? I guess I am supposed to be one, but I have no clue what it means.

If you read the user experience thread you will find what I'm missing and my suggestions.

All times are GMT. The time now is 07:14.
So maybe it is more about the copy-part than aboout the paste-part. Pasting should indeed only be allowed in those fields that are provided therefore - as it is right now.
Another issue is off course the way you copy without keyboard and ctrl-c (as, for instance, with the N900) because you might want to reseerve the long-click for other Events than copying.
And just as a side-question: what is a celebutroll? I guess I am supposed to be one, but I have no clue what it means. Plus: trolling is not my Intention, so please apologize if I made the wrong impr4ession.
