My two cents . . . It could go the CUA route and do Shift+Insert for paste (from clipboard) and Control+Insert for copy (to clipboard). It could go the other way and do a variant of Ctrl+C for copy and Ctrl+V for paste. I wouldn't use them directly because the programs running in st probably need those keys. So Alt+Ctrl+C/V or Shitf+Ctrl+C/V or Alt+C/V. Also, it could provide key bindings for both CUA and the other way. I don't think that would complicate the code much. I don't think ther *needs* to be a key for paste from primary selection since that is what the middle button does, but it wouldn't hurt to provide a key. Maybe we have some X users who hate touching their mouse. -- http://www.fastmail.com - The professional email service
