Notes

Each line of text on the clipboard is an item in the returned list. If the clipboard’s contents are graphical or are text that is not plain, which means the text cannot be interpreted as ASCII, GetText returns an empty list ({}).

On X platforms, GetText returns the primary selection, which is the middle mouse-button paste. To enable GetText to return the clipboard selection, set the OPT_PRIMARY_SELECTION environment variable to FALSE.
