Thank you for trying to help. I found that when I googled, but I did not find it helpful at first. I think the following is incomplete. *** `x-select-enable-primary' now defaults to nil. Thus, commands that kill text or copy it to the kill-ring (such as M-w, C-w, and C-k) also use the clipboard---not the primary selection. I think that x-select-enable-primary also affects C-y. I tried to paste with the scroll wheel, but apparently that generated mouse-4, not mouse-2. But I really want to paste with the right mouse button. In .emacs: (global-set-key [mouse-3] 'mouse-yank-primary) In .Xdefaults: XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \ <Key>BackSpace: string(0x7f) \n\ ~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn1Up>: select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD) \n\ ~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn3Down>: ignore() \n\ ~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn3Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD) (When I first tried to post this, I got the backspace invokes help problem. I put in the fix for that also) -- Fredrik Stax\"ang | rot13: s...@hcqngr.hh.fr This is all you need to know about vi: ESC : q !
