Subject: kill-new discards current X selection
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 12:18:50 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A95606A.6050606@gnu.org> (raw)
When I select a word in an xterm and then kill in emacs, then X selection is
gone forever, replaced with the emacs kill.
The appended patch prepends the current X selection to kill-ring before
replacing the X selection with the current Emacs kill.
Is it OK to install it unconditionally, or is it better to guard it with a user
option, e.g., save-interprogram-paste-before-kill?
