Setting Sam as "QA Contact" on all bugs (even resolved ones) so he'll definitely be in the loop to any further discussion here about SDL.

Interesting. I have dreamt about such a thing several times in the past. It would in fact be interesting outside of SDL, too. At least being able to copy/paste plain text would be nice. Under Windows, Mac OS X, X11, and possibly with a "default" implementation that uses an internal clipboard, so that on unsupported systems, client code can still do at least local copy&paste.

We actually have this in progress with some sample code from Eric Wing and Pygame.
