This is my first topic - be gentle. I would like to have comments on what people think of the following:
It would be nice if every kde application had a "paste special" menu option, with applications offering copied data in more formats.
For example, in khtml say I want to be able to copy an image and paste it into my work processor. Going further with copying images+text, I heard that it would be complicated, but a basic attempt at supporting bold, italics etc formatting when copying text in khtml.
Another good example is copying code from kate. It would be nice to be able to keep the syntax highlighting colours when pasting into my word processor. This can be done by offering both text/plain and text/rtf (or whatever the mime types are).

Ordering
I think the recommended ordering of MIME types a drag or clipboard offers is fom most specialized to most generic.
The target application should then use the first one it understands or check all.
Cheers,
Kevin
