I've implemented copy and paste in rlworkbench, and this is a demo of the current state.

You can make a selection as I demonstrated in the previous demo. Then you can copy that selection with ctrl+c and paste it with ctrl+v.

This also works with external programs.

The next step in copy paste is probably to allow selection of text with the mouse which puts the selection in a clipboard that can be pasted with the third mouse button.

Copy and paste felt like a big step towards a usable editor. Especially when writing code. I often copy and paste code and make small modifications. Now that is possible in rlworkbench.
