Or viceversa, maybe. Look what I'm getting after selecting and copying my name: ~$ xclip -o -selection clipboard | od -tx1 0000000 52 61 c3 ba 6c 0000005 ~$ xclip -o -selection primary | od -tx1 0000000 52 61 fa 6c 0000004 The clipboard selection (XA_CLIPBOARD) is encoded using utf-8, correctly, and that's why using "* works for me. But the primary selection (XA_PRIMARY) is converted to latin1, don't know why. In short, Google Chrome fault, I'll report the bug. > This causes problems because it's actually already in UTF-8.

Of course, because then the XA_PRIMARY selection is used, and that's is garbled. If the problem is solved I'll post a note here. I was investigating this issue because I want to write a Chrome extension so Vim can be used to edit text boxes. -- Raúl "DervishD" Núñez de Arenas Coronado Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to...
