Hi Andrew, https://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/utilities/using-cut-buffers.html is the ctrl-c/v/x clipboard. But, looking at https://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/window-information/selection.html He talks a lot about changing the ownership. Is the the mouse over and middle click clipboard (primary)? I may still have the wrong clipboard. Am I missing something? Many thanks, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
