On most Linux distros middle click pastes last selected text. For web editors that do not render all the visible text, or do not use browser selection, this behavior is impossible to replicate https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/issues/175 https://github.com/codemirror/CodeMirror/issues/931 On Chrome it is possible to use a hack, by putting the text into a hidden textarea and selecting it, but that causes performance issues, and doesn't work on other browsers. It would be useful to either have a performant way to set the value of primary clipboard, or a way to set it when editor is blurred. The old, [non-web clipboard api on firefox](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/XPCOM/Using_the_clipboard) provided [a way](https://github.com/MikeRatcliffe/Acebug/commit/af64219198f9406b679a733f4fab934789a0029a#diff-c5c243baded0b523064cfa50cc30c056R816) to do this. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
