Issue Hi @collinss, first of all, Thanks for developing this applet! :) Now on to the problem : Select / middle click method for copy-paste (X primary clipboard) does not seem to work.

Steps to reproduce Select text in a note, try to paste it with middle click in another program, or the opposite.

Result Nothing is pasted on middle click in a note; Selecting text in a note does not clear or alter the text to be pasted with middle click elsewhere. Nothing seems to happen in ~/.cinnamon/glass.log or ~/.xsession-errors either.

I'll look into implementing this when I get a chance. It might be a while though. I don't spend much time on these anymore, and use most of it for Cinnamon itself.
