# Clipboard Applet Specification

The Clipboard applet allows simple cut copy and paste operations.

Using the clipboard is precisely equivalent to sending the corresponding key sequences to the current application.

Status: RT

## Use Cases

- Create event from Email

  The user receives an email that talks about an upcoming concert, giving various details of dates, times, and descriptions. By using the clipboard, the user copies the start time, end time, and description from the email into the corresponding fields of a new event. (not implemented: they can also copy the date in a number of common formats.)

## Features

- Text Cut: equivalent to pressing "Control-X" on a keyboard.
- Text Copy: equivalent to pressing "Control-C" on a keyboard. (including sending that as an interrupt in the terminal)
- Text Paste: equivalent to pressing "Control-V" on a keyboard.

## Prerequisites

- None.
