Oh it would be excellent, thanks for the proposal. Because it is the only available option actually, as SD card requires a reader and I dont have one on my desktop, and others probably do not work on X.

So if I can help, don't hesitate.

To do so, select some text in the internal editor, then press chord+157 (capital E). This will transfer the text as if it had been typed on a connected keyboard, so please make sure the other device is ready to take text at that point.

And I am afraid it does not work on X environments.
