Hi,
Maybe this question is better asked on the vm-dev list. Does anyone know the status of the ClipboardExtendedPlugin?
Happy New Year!

With fixes to the plugin ClipboardExtendedPlugin.c generated C file to declare the interface it uses, and the Makefile to compile it, I am able to copy and paste the display into TextEdit on macOS 10.14. I'll commit fixes to the opensmalltalk-vm repository, and add the plugin to Squeak macOS builds. Thanks for the heads up :-)

The plugin seems to be in the current VM source (src/pugins/ClipboardExtendedPlugin), though. I am on macOS Big Sur 11.6.1.
