My initial question was regarded to what is called in X11 a "primary selection", but I also know that emacs is aware of difference between "primary selection" and "clipboard selection", thus I just thought that maybe emacs can put each kiiled text to that "clipboard selection". I checked that it is true when You mark and remember text with for example `M-w`, but it is not true for kill-rectangle command, ie. the later one does not put text to "clipboard selection". best regards, Paul
