But it is not in the clipboard. X carries two distinct concepts. One is the clipboard, working much like its Windows counterpart. The other is the "X selection".What exactly do you mean? That when you "select" (highlight) some text with the mouse it is automagically "pasteable", i.e. it is enough to middle-click somewhere else to paste it?
When you highlight text, it goes into the X selection buffer. When you middle click, the X selection is pasted into wherever you clicked. Under Debian, konsole has "copy" and "paste" options that do what they say they do from the clipboard.
I don't know what Aviram wants exactly. I believe he had better clarify this. Also, I personally like it very much that the two buffers are distinct. For some things the X selection is better, for others the clipboard is better. The best advantage the clipboard has over the X selection is that it is not volatile under random mouse clicks. If konsole would have automatically transferred everything into the clipboard, that would have been a major beature for me.I don't even use konsole normally (I do use Red Hat, but I would be really surprised if it were any different on Debian), but just for you I have had a look at a konsole (on RH9) and "Copy" is the topmost item in its "Edit" menu...
So you must have something else in mind, but this is the only thing
that comes to my mind reading your description, and *now* I am
intrigued...
