Hello,
I realized that cut&paste doesn't work with urxvt in a tigervnc-server.
The rxvt-unicode-list refers me to the tigervnc-list :-)
Can you imagine what could be the problem? And even maybe how to solve it?
Attached is the answer of Marc Lehmann.
And at the very end my original question to the rxvt-unicode list.
I assume that the selection is correctly transferred via tigervnc, as I can
see it with "xsel -op" (means print primary selection). So, for me it looks
really like a bug in urxvt....
Thanks a lot,
Michael

Cut and paste in these programs do not generally use the selection, they
use the clipboard mechanism.

My guess is that either tigervnc doesn't support the selection mechanism
at all and/or uses cut buffers. You'd have to ask the tigervnc developers
- they have to provide the standard selection mechanism like other
implementations to make it work.

I am not sure what that means (the old contents of something that's empty
are deleted?).

vncviewer probably implements the selection correctly then.

That sounds stringly like a bug in tigervnc.

Subject: urxvt and selection/clipboard issue with vncconect
Hi,
I'm using urxvt (great software!) and tigervnc 1.3.0 (also great!).
When starting vncconfig the selection is transferred between the VNC-server
and the vncviewer.
This works well in both directions which can be verified by for example:
$ watch -n 0.1 xsel -op
Also the cut and paste does work well in xterm and programs like firefox etc.
But the paste via the middle mouse on the server doesn't work for urxvt.
The selection is always empty, so the old contents [previous selections] is
deleted!
It works on the client (vncviewer side of the connection) in urxvt.
The clipboard is also working, so with the urxvt-perl-extension "clipboard" I
can paste the contents of the transferred clipboard.
It seems that urxvt doesn't recognize the change of the selection.
The only workaround I found is the following:
$ xsel -op | xsel -ip
on the server will fix it for one transfer of the selection.
Any idea what is going wrong here?
Thanks for your help,
Michael
