Tales of 2d Unity

[krishnakant Mane]

Hi Dave,
Happy to know that you got a better experience with Unity this time.
With cut copy paste, I have one suggestion.
Why can't we have orca responding "cut to clipboard or copy to
clipboard " when we cut or copy and "pasted from clipboard " when we
paist it.

Happy hacking.
Krishnakant.
