What I really want is all paste-able text to be in the x-clipboard so that it is accessible from other applications and it gets pasted in emacs whether I use Ctl-Y or middle-mouse-button. How that happens, I don't care. I do *NOT* want to have to think about "how do I get these characters into the paste-able buffer?" Am I going to paste with middle mouse in an Xterm? With middle mouse in emacs? with Ctl-Y in emacs? With Ctl-V in some other app? I DO NOT KNOW AND I DO NOT WANT TO CARE, either. that "wiki" page is too obtuse for me to figure how to do it. I'm a newbie. I've only been using emacs since 1984. On Sun, Jul 29, 2018 at 3:16 PM Bruce Korb wrote: > > I take it back.
