Po Lu, you are often so absolute :-) As I said, there's a use case for some of us old... whatevers. I set `select-enable-primary' to t and am pretty happy with it. I see and understand the issues you raise, and wouldn't recommend that setting to many. But I'm with Emacs 25-something, have no Qt to speak of and am /still/ happy. And glad to have the option. Cheers & thanks for all your hard work, BTW. --=20 t --IjYL8id6QR0f0Xl9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EABECAB0WIQRp53liolZD6iXhAoIFyCz1etHaRgUCYgEWbQAKCRAFyCz1etHa RuFcAJ4+A/tpj2jxHv6TXeQLgyM8RJE98wCfZTcdSMlLRxWZX4aMoPFQTirjALI= =30Ts -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --IjYL8id6QR0f0Xl9--
