Here's a shell script you can run in a console https://gist.github.com/tbnorth/4b781ba2b8f59c83dd5e to show the content of the primary and secondary selections, and the clip-board. You'll probably need to install xclip When the mouse is released after drag-selecting text in Leo, the primary selection updates as expected. This doesn't happen with shift-arrow selection. It looks like keyboard shift-arrow selection should call QClipboard::setText(const QString & text, Mode mode = QClipboard::Selection) either by converting Leo to C++ or converting the above to its Python equivalent, whichever is easier :-) Cheers -Terry > The two applications are Artha (a spelling/thesaurus utility) and > Leo. > > Install Artha and assign an unused system wide shortcut key.
