Do you means there isn't an X or desktop environment level utility? |
| 15 |
What if I want to paste the content of a file in other places, i.e. fill |
| 16 |
a textarea in web browser? |

In my cygwin time, the command "cat myfile > /dev/clipboard" was quite |
| 19 |
handy. I hadn't expected that I am missing a windows function when I am |
| 20 |
under Linux, ever. |

P.S. It seems Thunderbird doesn't provide this kind of function except |
| 23 |
using attachment. :( |

I'm usually annoyed by IDEs because, for instance, they don't use VIM |
| 29 |
as an editor. Since I'm hooked to that, all IDEs I've used so far have |
| 30 |
failed to impress me. |
