Removing faces when yanking to comint

Removing faces when yanking to comint

[Earl Wagner]

Hi all,

I often copy and yank lines from other buffers into the shell (running
in shell-mode, extended from comint-mode I think). These lines often
have face attributes such as specific colors for comments, strings,
etc. The problem is that they preserve these colors when run as
commands. Then, every time I retrieve and re-run the comint-input
command, it retains its original face.

Is there anyway to strip the face attributes from text yanked in the
shell (comint-mode)?

Thanks for any help with this.

-Earl

Maybe have a look at the variable yank-excluded-properties 

,----[ C-h v yank-excluded-properties RET ]
| yank-excluded-properties is a variable defined in `simple.el'.
| Its value is
| (read-only invisible intangible field mouse-face help-echo local-map keymap yank-handler follow-link fontified)
| 
| 
| Documentation:
| Text properties to discard when yanking.
| The value should be a list of text properties to discard or t,
| which means to discard all text properties.
| 
| You can customize this variable.

How about:

(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
	  (lambda () (set (make-local-variable 'yank-excluded-properties) t)))
