I also saw your other email so I know you already installed `xclip`. I note that you used `xclip -i` and not `xclip -i -selection clipboard`. By default `xclip` write into the primary selection. There is a difference between primary selection and clipboard selection in GNU/Linux and BSD, so you should be explicit in which selection you use. I think the proble you are experiencing is because of that. > > and where are the the other entries coming from (w3m, ...)? Some externals are already inserted in the `lynx.cfg` file (should be in `/etc/lynx.cfg` in debian, but I am not sure about it). You can comment those lines if you do not want them. I did it because I like to have things separate. note that there are also other kind of programs, such as VIEWERS, which are used to see files such as PDFs or PNGs. > > but this external things is greath! > thanks a lot You're welcome. Glad to have helped you! BTW, be careful with EXTERNALS. Some security focused distributions, e.g. OpenBSD, compile lynx without them. It seems that it is a potential vulnerability. Unfortunately I do not know anything more about it (and I would be very glad if somebody in the list would say something about it), but I assume it is related to which program you use. E.g. `echo` is not a problem. Of course, I can be wrong about it. Best, disnocen ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev

What are you using to copy and paste? If you're using gnu screen, you can do the concatenation at the same time as the copy. Just move the cursor to the beginning of the URL and press "c" (without the quotes) to set the first column, press "y" to "yank" the whole line, cursor down to hilight all lines of the URL, then press "J" (shifted "j") to "join lines", then either space or enter to finish the copy, and the lines will be copied as one line. Make sure you only press the "J" once, as it cycles between joining, joining with blanks, joining with commas, and not joining. Also, if for some reason, spaces are hilighted at the end of a line, you may need to press "C" (shifted "c") at the end of the line to set the last column, but that doesn't usually happen. If you're using tmux, you can do something similar, but you have to concatenate the lines when you paste instead of when you copy. For example, you can use the "|" key to paste the paste buffer with all lines concatenated with the following: bind-key | paste-buffer -s "" You'll need to do a "rectangle toggle" when you copy the URL to get the same effect as the "c" and "C" keys in gnu screen. The default keys for this are "v" in vi mode, and "R" in emacs mode. HTH. Chuck ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
Re: [Lynx-dev] copy URL to clipboard shortcut
Hi, I do not know what is the use case, but I assume something like: - you are in a page P - you want to copy the url of the page you are in - you want to paste that URL in an external application For that to work with external you need a file `$HOME/.lynx/external` in your PC _if_ your lynx has been compiled with the option external. I post here my externals file for example: ``` EXTERNAL:http:echo -n %s|xclip -i:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:wget %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:mpv %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:git clone %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:links -g %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:http:chrome %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:gopher:lynx -dump %s|urlview:TRUE EXTERNAL:gopher:echo -n %s|xclip -i:TRUE EXTERNAL:gopher:wget %s:TRUE EXTERNAL:ftp:wget %s:TRUE ``` When you are in page P, you press ',' (default keybinding) and a pop up menu will appear with all the possible externals given the protocol. E.g. if you are in a http/https page you would see the options of the first group, i.e. from `echo` to `chrome`. if you select the `echo -n ...` option, it will copy the url of P into clipboard, no other actions needed. To paste it you have to use the shortcut of your terminal or application you want to paste that link into. Note that you can use those externals also on the highlighted/selected link in a page, by pressing '.' instead of ',' .

Specifically, when you press the TO_CLIPBOARD key, it first asks you whether you want to save the URL of the current document or of the current link. It then runs the command $RL_CLCOPY_CMD with the approrpiate URL on standard input. This command is supposed to copy the text to your clipboard, although it could do anything you want. RL_CLCOPY_CMD is an environment variable that you can set before executing Lynx. If you are using an X11 system and have 'xclip' installed on your system then export RL_CLCOPY_CMD='xclip -i' would be an appropriate setting to let Lynx copy URLs to the clipboard. imc ___ Lynx-dev mailing list Lynx-dev@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev

Have you tried using externals? If you compiled enabling them (I think the debian version has it compiled that way by default) you can use a command like `echo %s|xclip -i -selection clipboard` as an external.
