Common Cut & Paste

I like DoctorMo’s motto – Common Everything.

My vote goes out to Common Cut & Paste across all applications in Gnome, though. Sounds trivial, but it ain’t, I know.

Although I commented on his post, I wanted to elaborate on this. But the truth is that plain and simple, there seems to be no coherence between cut, copy & paste functionality across applications in Gnome. I am not sure where to begin reporting this, perhaps as bugs in separate applications. Maybe within freedesktop.org. I already mentioned this internally to our Desktop Experience Usability team (DUX as we call it), it seems the task is not easy. Or is it ? I’d like to focus on this one thing that annoys me, maybe others can join me 🙂
