Re: Middle click paste in St.Entry

[Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi gmail com>]

except that the source actor in the event will be wrong, and if I
added a check for that inside clutter_actor_event() (something which
would make sense for me to add) then you'd get a warning and the event
would be rejected.

you'd have to synthesize a new event from the one passed, though to be
fair that's be a fairly evil thing to do.

if you want to handle middle-click-to-paste by middle-clicking
anywhere other than an entry (something I honestly don't think would
be good to have), then you should connect to the button-release-event
on that other actor, and do what StEntry does when it receives a
middle click. maybe even add a method to StEntry to paste the contents
from a specific clipboard into its text buffer.

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
