Description

Description

Inspired from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=443276 , we should consider to test not only the user input via keyboard / mouse, but also clipboard interaction via copy-paste.
In particular this specific bug was reproducible only via middle-mouse click, this means that keyboard shortcuts like CTRL+C / CTRL+V would not catch it.

To enable this kind of testing, openQA should expose an API to interact with the system clipboard or give control over the mouse buttons.

Further improvements / future ideas

Other input methods to consider : touch, gestures... Voice ? If we consider to play with desktop accessibility, there are disabled people that rely on many different input methods to use their favorite linux distro :)
