System clipboard

The system clipboard allows a window system user to transfer data between one widget (or application) and another using cut, copy, and paste operations. Each window system provides its own style of clipboard support. However, it generally allows the user to perform these clipboard operations in exactly the same way between all applications on the system using some combination of the mouse and keyboard.
