[pclasses-devel] clipboard support

[stephan b. <st...@s1...>]

Yo!

i just remembered that i have some s11n-based clipboard code in 
s11nbrowser (http://s11n.net/s11nbrowser/), and realized it would be 
really useful in P2. Before i start porting it i'd like to ask which 
module it should belong to? My original thought is App, but it's more 
generic than that, and can be used at the general framework level. 
Maybe the SIO module would be appropriate?

It requires sigs/slots, but this support could be easily removed, and of 
course s11n (or SIO). Attached is the original (trivial) 
implementation, for the curious. In short, it allows saving any 
Serializable object to a clipboard (and an arbitrary number of 
clipboards may exist). Slots are used to notify listeners when the 
clipboard is updated. The slots support isn't strictly necessary, but 
seems useful, and is definately useful in a UI context. For example, in 
s11nbrowser we connect to slots to update the clipboard-related 
menus/buttons to reflect the current clipboard state.
