Problem with clipboard

Problem with clipboard

[neverov_dg]

Hi!

I'm running emacs on WinXP and have problems with inserting text from
clipboard. When I select text in MS Word or Firefox and paste it into
emacs it inserts symbols in latin-1 encoding, but I want him to insert
text in windows-1251-dos encoding.

When I use:

M-x set-next-selection-coding-system RET windows-1251-dos RET

and paste text all work fine, but just one time. I try to use

M-x set-selection-coding-system RET windows-1251-dos RET

but it doesn't help, text is inserted in latin-1 encoding.

Encoding-specific section in my .emacs:

(set-language-environment "Russian")
(define-coding-system-alias 'windows-1251 'cp1251)
(set-buffer-file-coding-system 'cp1251-dos)
(set-default-coding-systems 'cp1251-dos)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'windows-1251-dos)
(set-selection-coding-system 'cp1251-dos)
(prefer-coding-system 'cp1251-dos)

My emacs-version is:
GNU Emacs 22.0.93.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2007-02-01 on LENNART-69DE564 (patched)

How can I fix it?

What happens if you try this in "emacs -Q"?

(On Windows XP, it's almost never the right thing to force Emacs into
some specific encoding when working with the clipboard.)

Wow, all works fine :). emacs -Q doesn't use my .emacs, so it seems
that I have wrong configuration in it...

Now I have just:

(set-input-method "russian-computer")
(set-default-coding-systems 'windows-1251-dos)
(set-buffer-file-coding-system 'windows-1251-dos)
(prefer-coding-system 'windows-1251-dos)

in .emacs and all works fine.

Thanks!

Any reason why you should keep the latter two?  What is the default
value of buffer-file-coding-system in "emacs -Q"?

Value of buffer-file-coding-system  in "emacs -Q" is undecided-dos.

I try to comment these lines:

(set-buffer-file-coding-system 'windows-1251-dos)
(prefer-coding-system 'windows-1251-dos)

After that file in windows-1251 encoding opened using iso-latin-1-dos
encoding. When I uncoment the last line emacs opens file in
windows-1251. I also change line

(set-input-method "russian-computer")

to

(set-language-environment "Russian")

So now I have:

(set-language-environment "Russian")
(set-default-coding-systems 'windows-1251-dos)
(prefer-coding-system 'windows-1251-dos)
