Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V. In some applications it works, in some it doesn't. |

I think there's several ways to set the clipboard in X. Some |
| 20 |
applications do it correctly, some don't. Some desktop environments |
| 21 |
interfere, some don't. |

Sometimes the clipboard contents even disappear if you exit the |
| 24 |
application you copied from. Start Google Chrome. Select the URL bar. |
| 25 |
Press Ctrl+C. Quit Google Chrome. Try Ctrl+V somewhere. It's gone. The |
| 26 |
clipboard content you just copied from Chrome is gone. |

It's a good old huge big effing mess, as usual. The year of the Linux |
| 29 |
desktop will probably be the one where the freakin' clipboard actually |
| 30 |
works, because we still can't get it right in 2017. |
