\class QClipboard
\brief The QClipboard class provides access to the window system clipboard.
\inmodule QtGui
The clipboard offers a simple mechanism to copy and paste data
between applications.
QClipboard supports the same data types that QDrag does, and uses
similar mechanisms. For advanced clipboard usage read \l{Drag and
Drop}.
There is a single QClipboard object in an application, accessible
as QGuiApplication::clipboard().
Example:
\snippet code/src_gui_kernel_qclipboard.cpp 0
QClipboard features some convenience functions to access common
data types: setText() allows the exchange of Unicode text and
setPixmap() and setImage() allows the exchange of QPixmaps and
QImages between applications. The setMimeData() function is the
ultimate in flexibility: it allows you to add any QMimeData into
the clipboard. There are corresponding getters for each of these,
e.g. text(), image() and pixmap(). You can clear the clipboard by
calling clear().
A typical example of the use of these functions follows:
\snippet droparea.cpp 0
\section1 Notes for X11 Users
\list
\li The X11 Window System has the concept of a separate selection
and clipboard. When text is selected, it is immediately available
as the global mouse selection. The global mouse selection may
later be copied to the clipboard. By convention, the middle mouse
button is used to paste the global mouse selection.
\li X11 also has the concept of ownership; if you change the
selection within a window, X11 will only notify the owner and the
previous owner of the change, i.e. it will not notify all
applications that the selection or clipboard data changed.
\li Lastly, the X11 clipboard is event driven, i.e. the clipboard
will not function properly if the event loop is not running.
Similarly, it is recommended that the contents of the clipboard
are stored or retrieved in direct response to user-input events,
e.g. mouse button or key presses and releases. You should not
store or retrieve the clipboard contents in response to timer or
non-user-input events.
\li Since there is no standard way to copy and paste files between
applications on X11, various MIME types and conventions are currently
in use. For instance, Nautilus expects files to be supplied with a
\c{x-special/gnome-copied-files} MIME type with data beginning with
the cut/copy action, a newline character, and the URL of the file.
\endlist
\section1 Notes for \macos Users
\macos supports a separate find buffer that holds the current
search string in Find operations. This find clipboard can be accessed
by specifying the FindBuffer mode.
\section1 Notes for Windows and \macos Users
\list
\li Windows and \macos do not support the global mouse
selection; they only supports the global clipboard, i.e. they
only add text to the clipboard when an explicit copy or cut is
made.
\li Windows and \macos does not have the concept of ownership;
the clipboard is a fully global resource so all applications are
notified of changes.
\endlist
\section1 Notes for Universal Windows Platform Users
\list
\li The Universal Windows Platform only allows to query the
clipboard in case the application is active and an application
window has focus. Accessing the clipboard data when in background
will fail due to access denial.
\endlist

the global clipboard.
\value Selection indicates that data should be stored and retrieved from
the global mouse selection. Support for \c Selection is provided only on
systems with a global mouse selection (e.g. X11).
