Some people feel strongly one way. Others feel strongly the other way. Note that it has deep personal preferences involved as do most user interface decisions. I set the following according to my preferences. (setq select-active-regions nil) ; default is nil in 23, t in 24 (setq mouse-drag-copy-region t) ; default is t in 23, nil in 24 (setq x-select-enable-primary t) ; default is nil in 23, t in 24 (setq x-select-enable-clipboard nil) ; default is nil in 23, t in 24 (setq x-select-enable-clipboard-manager nil) ; new in 24, default is t You probably want x-select-enable-primary in particular. See the documentation for the set to determine what you like and don't like. Bob
