I owe you a beer. :) Owe me a beer? Have you never heard of free software, with "free" as in free beer? Anyway I went thru the code today after all these years, and found a couple of small things to change: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/emacs-init/xsel.el I also added this: (defun x-copy-symbol (sym) "Copy the value of SYM to the X clipboard." (interactive "S Symbol: ") (let*((val (symbol-value sym)) (str (format "%s" val)) ) (set-X-clipboard-to-string str) )) ;; Test: ;; (progn (x-copy-symbol 'fill-column) (insert-X-clipboard)) ;; (progn (call-interactively #'x-copy-symbol) (insert-X-clipboard)) Keep it up :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
