One possible counterpoint is that while copy is Ctrl/Cmd C, cut and paste are X and V. I don't think those mean anything beyond the fact that they're physically next...

Yep, that's exactly what I meant! | `main_window` value | App behavior | |-------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------| | `toga.BACKGROUND_APP` | Background app (systray / menubar item) | | Any window instance | App...

Ah, I had not thought of that. I could see an argument for either option (accepting the behavior or raising an error), or for a middle ground of printing a...
