X11 selections

2008-12-05 16:10:23.673244+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Boston Diaries has some interesting ramblings on X11 selections that I want to write some code to play with, ways to get alternate info out of the clipboard and primary selections so that, for instance, I could select a region in Firefox and paste HTML, rather than a text representation, into Emacs (without having to go through the "view selection source, copy that" process).

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
