Hi,
I'm a bit confused by those changes. I used to have
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq mouse-drag-copy-region nil)
(mouse-sel-mode 1)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and was pretty happy with the behavior. Now it seems I cannot retrieve
the same behavior as `mouse-sel-mode' is apparently broken
("mouse-sel-selection-overlay: No overlay corresponding to PRIMARY
selection" whenever I try to select something). Which forces me to (setq
mouse-drag-copy-region t) to be able to select with the mouse, but this
in turn pollutes my kill-ring...
What I'd like to have is:
- mouse selection/middle click working as in any application
(interacting with X primary selection), but *without* interacting with
neither kill-ring, nor clipboard
- kill-ring being totally independent of clipboard
- (optionally) dedicated functions to yank/kill from/to
clipboard/primary/secondary
I don't mind changing my configuration to accommodate the new defaults,
but can't find the relevant information. Any useful pointers to
magic variables?
Thanks a lot,
Yann.
