I corrected my .Xdefaults list on my amd64 install to match, and that works fine as well. Many thanks. Brian

Every example from the xterm man page uses sth like: *VT100*translations: #override \n\ , and it makes sense, as # is not a comment in the resource file itself. So your resource value above effectively becomes "#override Ctrl Shift C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) Ctrl Shift V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD)" instead of "#override Ctrl Shift C:copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) Ctrl Shift V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD)" Also, while being at the edge of my confidence level here, generally XTerm*VT100*translations: With all them asterisks, usually kicks in better. YMMV though. Also, I assume the proper xrdb commands are issued to set these resource values. /Alexander

Thanks for the inspiration, but no, paste wasn't already working. I have however, now got copy to work. Unfortunately, nothing I do seems to sort paste out. Currently my snippet looks like this: xterm.VT100.translations: #override \ Ctrl Shift C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ Ctrl Shift V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) The "n\" that you have in he first line shouldn't make a difference as it is a comment "#", isn't it? What causes me some concern, is the apparent lack of consistent behavior between architectures on this minor, but irritating issue.

It wasn't the last line that potentially lacked "\n\", it was the first one, "#override\n\". I suspect paste actually might already work. Did you try copying from, say, Firefox, and then paste into an xterm? I strongly believe this has nothing to do with the platform. /Alexander

Seen from my perspective, the override that I am using is more convenient on a laptop, but more importantly, expected behavior should be the same regardless of architecture. There shouldn't be different behavior on amd64 architecture compared to i386 architecture.

Trying a different MUA. Not sure where the extra characters that you mention crept in, however they weren't in the .Xdefaults file as far as I could see. I added the extra "\n\" in the last line as suggested, but weirdly this had no effect. Still no copy-paste in i386.

I don't know if it's relevant, but my Xdefaults looks like this XTerm.VT100.translations: #override \n\ Ctrl Alt C:copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ Ctrl Alt V:insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ [...other stuff...] In particular, do note the "\n" after #override, which isn't present in your snippet. This works fine for me. Also, vi(1) is showing \xc2\xa0 before your lines, which I don't know if it's product of your MUA or if it's actually part of the file (it's a non-breaking space, aka in XML/HTML), do double-check the whitespaces in there. -Lucas
Xterm copy-paste not happening on OpenBSD 7.1 i386.
I have installed OpenBSD 7.1 i386 on my Lenovo T60 and am experiencing a couple of issues. The first is related to the following addition that I made to my .Xdefaults file, which works with OpenBSD 7.1 amd64 installs, but not with the OpenBSD 7.1 i386 install on my Lenovo T60: XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override\ Ctrl Shift C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\ Ctrl Shift V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) Any ideas how to get copy and paste working in Xterm with an i386 install?
