[I am normally an XEmacs user, not a GNU Emacs user.] For some reason, X Selections (PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD) do no work correctly in Emacs. I can select text, copy it and paste it *within Emacs* (using either the middle mouse button or the keyboard). I can also copy and paste text using the middle mouse button (PRIMARY) *from* an external program *to* Emacs. However, * I cannot paste from an external program to Emacs using the keyboard (CLIPBOARD), * I cannot paste from Emacs to another program using the mouse (PRIMARY), and * I cannot paste from Emacs to another program using the keyboard (CLIPBOARD). After a Google, I turned on "mouse-sel-mode", but this does not cure my problems. Does anyone have a solution to my problem? Suggesting a different editor — such as vi — is not a solution ☺
