interim user report: a major annoyance or two with nvu

well, i've played with nvu a little, written some things with it, and 
it's pretty nice. but it has a couple of show-stopping flaws. one is no 
ability to alter its behavior; for instance, the places with which i 
work do not typically use <br> except when seeking to break a line in a 
particular place; typically, a carriage return is the start of a new 
paragraph, word-processor style.

second, and this one is a tremendous annoyance, it does not recognize 
any of the (many and awful) clipboards that kde carries around. this is 
unforgiveable, because pasting in the urls for links goes a long way 
toward eliminating the kind of errors that having to type them in 
introduces. i realize that this has long been a problem with 
netscape/mozilla. still, after nearly a decade of it being an obvious 
issue it really ought to be dealt with.

in response to the question here, it does handle forms, at least to some 
extent, but i haven't played with this.
