I felt very glad when I saw Lionels patch for "Make selection behavior more standard conformant" as this is a very important point for my work with TeXmacs.
Unfortunaly, it doesn't adress one important problem: Selections always go to clipboard which makes it impossible to copy one selection to the clipboard and then select something else and replace it with the former selection. Furthermore, selections aren't replaced by paste operations, so that copy/paste a selection to/from secondary clipboard doesn't work either (and the corresponding shortcut "C-V 2" seems not to work - it means C-(V,2), isn't it, but as soon as I press the "V", a simple paste is done - composed shortcuts like "M-i =" work correctly). Afaik, most unix X11 applications which support both types of selection behaviour separate the two: If one part of an document is selected it is only available by pressing the middle mouse button and by C-V or S-Ins if explicitly copied to clipboard via C-C or C-Ins. So they seem to hold two clipboards, one for the current selection and one for copy/paste operations - resp. only the latter and extract the current selection only if requested by pressing the middle mouse button without real clipboard handling. Did I get something wrong? I would like to contribute to the selection behaviour, but I didn't find out how to do it on the scheme side, although I understood the patch of Linonel (little chances for me at the c++-side, i simply have no idea of it). -- Best regards Stephan _______________________________________________ Texmacs-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/texmacs-dev
