@h5e@tech.lgbt @shi@tech.lgbt Indeed. At least on Windows, programs can copy data in multiple formats to the clipboard. The destination program decides what to do when the user says Paste, like choosing the most sensible format for the app. E.g, Notepad chooses "plain text" instead of RTF, and pastes nothing if there's no "plain text" data. IIRC you can witness this in MS Word by choosing "Paste Special..." or such option.

    @smurthys@hachyderm.io @h5e@tech.lgbt @shi@tech.lgbt Is there documentation for how a destination program can decide which format to pull?
