Comment 7 for bug 318922

Copy-paste support was supposed to ship in 0.8, but a last-minute bug got in the way. Also, when I offer alternatives to ctrl-C ctrl-V, I do this because of my "unsupported views on usability", but also in lieu of our support of traditional copy and paste. There are some cases where you wish to apply an action or transformation directly to selected text, and in these cases, using the selected text item is much more natural and enjoyable than performing a finger-dance on your keyboard; however, we realize that users also expect "traditional" copy/paste support, and we do support it -- please don't accuse us of refusing to support it. Your points about retaining first-pane state between summons and advanced text editing belong in either separate bug reports on blueprints.
