Consistency of Ctrl-Drag Operations across all programs  
Written by michaelwheatland the 22 Dec 09 at 23:25. New
The implementation of the pseudo clipboard mouse functions, ie. Control Drag and Shift Drag are not consistent across all applications within Ubuntu.

Example: Open Office
Within Open Office Writer you can select text, hold control and copy the text to another location within the document.
Within Open Office Draw if you drag an item while holding the control button it only moves the item.

Solution #1: Integrate all mouse copy and move functions into the gnome/KDE clipboard

The implementation of these functions should not be 'per program' but rather implemented as a part of the clipboard functionality of Ubuntu.
