Bug Description

Hi, I would like to forward this feature request from the Debian bug tracking system. For the full bug report see:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=739550

"It would be [...] useful, if qpdfview also implemented an option to copy the selected text to the X buffer. This would be handy, whenever you want to paste the copied text with the middle mouse button into any X application (including xterm, for instance)."

If you can find the time, I also would not object to you implementing this feature. If you would rather I implement this I would give it a try but that may well take a week. :-)

This is very important.
