Subject: mouseless copying to clipboard
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2012 12:30:43 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120113203043.6BB521810C9@neo.msri.org> (raw)
Dear Emacsers
I'd like to be able to copy text to my X-clipboard without using the
mouse. The problem is that I like to use emacs -nw for reasons I
won't go into, and it doesn't seem to work. That is, if i run
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
and then set mark, move point, M-w, the selection is not saved to my
X-clipboard. I've confirmed it works when I call emacs without the -nw
option.
Is there a solution? I'm running the version below on Ubuntu 10.04.
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu,
GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2011-03-04 on palmer, modified by Debian
Silvio
