(Changed severity to "API change" for a bunch of bugs.)

There's an example of this with the existing API here:

Comment 3 Ryan C. Gordon 2006-01-27 11:23:05 UTC 
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.

Comment 4 Max Horn 2006-03-22 13:31:15 UTC 
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.
Comment 5 Sam Lantinga 2009-12-14 21:43:11 UTC 
We actually have this in progress with some sample code from Eric Wing and Pygame.
Comment 6 Sam Lantinga 2010-07-12 21:26:03 UTC 
This is implemented in the latest SDL 1.3 snapshot. :)
