Description Joel Majano

Due to the removal of GtkClipboard, a new implementation of Copy & Paste will need to be done using GdkClipboard.

Currently SWT uses different subclasses for data types, so this bug shall serve as the root bug for the port of all subclasses.

Porting clipboard functionality requires a lot of work due to the previous architecture not playing nice with GTK4 and the functionalities that it removed. Furthermore, each type of copy and paste needs its own change, thus this looks to be one of the later tasks to achieve in the GTK4 port.
