Yeah, that's a feature. =:) I wasn't about to recode the configurator
that I consider will be the least-used for this.... As far as the
"x-cut-buffer" feature goes, why not just combine it with the
ExecCommand directive so that bbkeys looks for a '%s' in any ExecCommand
directive and before he runs the command, replaces it with what's in X's
standard hilighted buffer? Would this require the user to maintain a
slightly higher level of cluefullness and manually put an '%s' in any
ExecCommand that he wanted that functionality? Yes.
But I'd be much more inclined to accepting a patch to do that than
one that would complicated things more than they already are....
