Clipboard

Guildhall manages its own clipboard. It behaves pretty much as the clipboard worked in early macOS systems, and that is in fact its design principle. Applets may choose to import objects on the host system clipboard by using a separate menu convention, but of course the contents of the host system clipboard are independent of Guildhall's state. At the moment the number of data types that can be imported from the host system clipboard is fairly limited.

The host and Guildhall clipboards do not overwrite each other. The design philosophy of Guildhall is that you're mostly interested in staying within its scope while using it, so import and export will be rare. Preserving the Guildhall clipboard across shutdown and launch, or application switching more commonly, is more important.
