What can I copy?
When copying, different scenari could appear (cf. void ClipboardManagerImpl::copy(SPDesktop *desktop)):
- If Inkscape is in Gradient mode and a gradient is selected, the selected gradient is copied
- If Inkscape is in Color picker mode, the color under the cursor is copied
- If Inkscape is in Text mode and if a text is selected, the selected text is copied
- In all other cases, the objects selected are copied
What can I paste?
Default behaviour
When pasting, the clipboard items will be scaned at a predefined order (cf. ClipboardManagerImpl::ClipboardManagerImpl()) but the idea is to search data in the clipboard following this order:
- SVG ressource (from various targets)
- Others vector formats:
- PDF ressource
- Adobe Illustrator ressource
If no ressource is found, other formats are searched (cf. bool ClipboardManagerImpl::paste(SPDesktop *desktop, bool in_place)):
- Windows users only: EMF ressource
- Image ressource
- Text string
Special behaviour
Those behaviours are accessible via keyboard shortcuts and/or menus:
- Paste path effect (Path menu) (cf. bool ClipboardManagerImpl::pastePathEffect(SPDesktop *desktop))
- Paste size (Edit menu) (cf. bool ClipboardManagerImpl::pasteSize(SPDesktop *desktop, bool separately, bool apply_x, bool apply_y))
- Paste style (Edit menu) (cf. bool ClipboardManagerImpl::pasteStyle(SPDesktop *desktop))
