Exactly. But I suppose people using Windows in Window way do not use more than one window so they to not see a need to cut from other windows.

One annoying thing is that I have lost the middle button on my Dell XPS13 Ubuntu Edition. I cannot find how to get it to work in a reasonable way with the touchapd so I have to use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V instead. Very irritating.
