9.5 Using the Vibe Clipboard

The clipboard in Novell Vibe is a tool that you can use to gather people’s names as you visit places within Vibe. Later, when using a tool that requires you to specify usernames, you can easily reference the names on your clipboard. For example, you can put a name on the clipboard, then when you want to send an e-mail message from Vibe, you refer to the clipboard to specify the name of the user to whom you want to send the e-mail.

Names remain on the clipboard until you remove them or until you log out.
