Is Linux clipboard predictable? Without trying out, please imagine that In Firefox page text, you have words "one two". You doubleclick "one" with left mouse and it highlights. Then you shift-middle click at the end of the word "two".

1) What will be highlighted? Then you press into the highlight with left mouse, drag it and release into a textarea.

2) What will be pasted into the textarea?

3) What will be in the mouse clipboard afterwards?

Explainer: Copy and paste, drag and drop

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://eclecticlight.co/2026/01/10/explainer-copy-and-paste-drag-and-drop/

<p>These are two of the defining features of the Macintosh, pioneered in the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center, and first offered to the general public in implementations by Larry Tesler (1945-2020), Jef Raskin (1943-2005), Bill Atkinson (1951-2025), Andy Hertzfeld and others at Apple.</p>
<h4>What they do</h4>
<p>Copy and paste is the older of the two, and less demanding to implement on slower hardware. Some of the contents of a document open in the source app are selected by the user, copied as discrete data to a clipboard intermediary, then pasted from that into a chosen location in a document opened in the receiver app, which could be the same document and app as the source.</p>
<p>Drag and drop is similar in many respects, but doesn’t require a clipboard. Some of the contents of a document open in the source app are selected by the user, then that selection is dragged to a chosen location in a document opened in the receiver app, which could be the same document and app as the source. Although in most cases, dropping inserts the dragged contents into a document, it can also insert them into a new file, for example in the Finder, where it becomes a clipping. The full interface for this wasn’t implemented in macOS until System 7.1.1/7.5 in 1993-94, almost a decade after the release of copy and paste.</p>
<p>Thus, copy and paste is primarily driven by the keyboard, and requires a clipboard intermediary, while drag and drop is direct manipulation using a mouse or t

Last Week on My Mac: Drag, drop, clipping

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://eclecticlight.co/2026/01/04/last-week-on-my-mac-drag-drop-clipping/

<p>Many of the features we take for granted in macOS today have long histories. For the last week I’ve been looking at drag and drop using the Finder’s clipping files. Thanks to comments by <em>theam27</em> and <em>joethewalrus,</em> we know this goes back over thirty years to the heady days of System 7. Before that, transfer of information between apps relied on the even older mechanism of copy and paste, one of the original features of the Mac in 1984.</p>
<p>Since System 7 Pro (7.1.1) and more generally in System 7.5 in September 1994, we’ve been able to drag text and other contents from open documents and drop them into the Finder to save them in a clipping file. That in turn can be dropped into a document to insert its contents there. It became highly popular in subsequent years, and different types of clippings proliferated. <em>theam27</em> has identified four general types, with a further ten for internet location clippings.</p>
<p>Clipping files have proved <a href="https://eclecticlight.co/2025/12/27/use-and-access-clipping-files-textclippings-weblocs-and-maillocs/">long-term survivors</a>. In Classic Mac OS their data was stored as resources in the resource fork of a file with an empty data fork. That survived the transition to Mac OS X, where it eventually became the <code>com.apple.ResourceFork</code> extended attribute. Since around 2015 clippings have also been written to the file’s main data as a binary property list. Although those cha

Does anyone know if there is a workaround or extension so that you can drag and drop attachments from Thunderbird into other applications (e.g. Finder) on MacOS?
