I’m just wondering where in the source files of a linux kernel I would be able to find the code which takes care of copying and pasting? I’m interested in modifying it but don’t know where to look to find it.
Thanks

Clipboard functionality is indeed not handled by the kernel but instead by the X window system and the active desktop manager (Gnome, KDE).
Take a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipboard_%28software%29#X_Window_System
