> Is not the variable `x-select-enable-clipboard' for this? No, that enables the use of the X "clipboard selection" in addition to the X "primary selection", and is only relevant on X (not Windows, which has a clipboard but doesn't have "selections"). The variables `interprogram-cut-function' and `interprogram-paste-function' can be set to nil to suppress the synchronization, but this isn't just a customization issue (as in "this isn't a problem, you should set X to Y") because the issue only arises during keyboard macro execution. If we want to support this, presumably we want a new variable thusly:
(defcustom macro-private-kills nil "*Non-nil means kill and yank commands executed by a keyboard macro don't interact with window system cut and paste facilities." :type 'boolean :group 'killing :version "22.1") Then `kill-new', `kill-append', and `current-kill' would be modified to ignore `interprogram-*-function' if `macro-private-kills' is set and a keyboard macro is executing. Better variable names and/or docstrings are of course welcome. Davis Herring -- This product is sold by volume, not by mass.
