hi the ctrl-c+ctrl-v thing in x11 is called the clipboard, the one that
copies & pastes is named the 'selection'. Even there are primary and
secondary selections (i dont know of anything that uses the secondary)
mp on gtk uses the clipboard because implementing the selection is more
complicated and reliable. with the clipbaord you only set and put its
content but with the selection you have to attend to several signals and
such. it also has problems with pasting unicode characters higher that
U+ffff (IIRC)
older versions of mp used the selection but didnt work very well.
cheers, tiny

hi, on a typical linux desktop there are 2 different clipboards:
* the CTRL-c CTRL-v one used by e.g. GTK apps (i'm not sure what's the
correct name of it)
* the X11 one which copies any selected text, can be pasted via
middle-mouse button click.
currently mp-5 only supports the former, not the latter so i can't e.g.
select text in mp-5 gtk version and paste it via middle click into xterm.
