Every Android or iPad user I've seen in action uses C&P. One guy works
on servers and uses it a lot. Much easier and more accurate than
typing entire commands. Another person doing research copies web
snippets and pastes them into some text app.

The Plasma issue is complicated by not having multi-touch yet. Not
having a middle mouse button would be a drag.
