Emacs (since version 24) now out-of-the-box uses "the clipboard" too, i.e. the recently cut text is copied to the Emacs kill-ring and to the clipboard, and when text was cut in another application more recently than in Emacs, paste in Emacs uses the clipboard instead of the Emacs kill-ring: Thats somehow a very intuitive behaviour, without thinking about it, one expects this to happen. Here is a link about Emacs use of the clipboard: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Clipboard.html There seem to be one clipboard for all applications, that is used by Emacs too. Here is a text about how to copy and paste from the command line to the clipboard: http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2008/02/22/command-line-to-clipboard/ ,--------------------------------------------------------------- | xsel and xclip are command line programs that can redirect the | contents of the Xorg server clipboard. The Xorg server has two | clipboards: the common right-click > Copy, and one for the | middle-mouse click. `--------------------------------------------------------------- Maybe its quite easy to do this (and maybe I should even try it myself). But although this is a feature request, its definitely not high priority. -- cheers, Thorsten -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:[email protected]?subject=Unsubscribe
