> But what if there were hidden shortcut combos for copy and paste on Linux that work across most apps without adding any additional software or configuration? By the end of 2025, this will be the case, and many apps already support them. Here's the scoop! Really? What's the rationale here? > The two most popular toolkits are GTK and QT. GTK added support the copy and paste keyboards in January 2025. QT also added support for copy and paste key codes the same month. I'm not sure of the first released version of the GTK toolkit that will contain the fix. For QT, it will be QT 6.10, scheduled for release in September 2025. Together, this will cover many apps built for Gnome and KDE as well as others that use the same toolkits. ... Oh. No, I'm afraid that's not how the Linux ecosystem works. There are still GTK2-related packages in the current Ubuntu repos, and QT5 is still quite popular from what I can tell. |
