Thanks Teika, I wonder, if there is a "x-get-selection", why is there no "x-set-selection"?
and why is there no sawfish function "paste-primary-selection"? I am starting to develop a weird type of "thumb tendonitis" on a X201 tablet (it is wider than my x61 tablet, and I think that is putting stress on my thumb). Anyways, what I need is a way to avoid using the trackpoint buttons as much as I can. So I'll keep fighting ;) --dmg Teika> On Mon, 31 Jan 2011 21:27:41 +0900, D M German wrote: >> I have been using the following extension to cut-and-paste with the >> keyboard (primary and secondary selection).
