Re: Cannot paste to XJed with Mutt/KDE

However, if I start Mutt from an xterm window or KDE Terminal window instead of a KDE Konsole window, pasting into XJed when I'm composing a message works. So it appears to be a problem with KDE Konsole not allowing pasting to a spawned window. I guess a work-around is not to use Konsole for Mutt. I think you've encountered an annoying oddity/feature of jed's default mouse handling. Try holding down the shift key while you do your mouse operations in (x)jed, i.e. shift-middle button to paste. Thanks, but my verson of Jed (0.99.6) doesn't require this (BTW, it's got pull-down menus, too) I've done more experimenting, and both KDE Konsole and KDE kvt (0.18.7) appear to be incompatible with XJed -- but only when it's called from Mutt. If Mutt is running in a Konsole window and I'm composing a message in XJed pasting does not work from anywhere (might work from rxvt or xterm). If Mutt is running in a kvt window, pasting from Netscape works, but pasting from a kvt or Konsole window does not. However, pasting from kvt or Konsole into XJed running (not called from Mutt) in a kvt window works, and pasting from a rxvt or xterm window into XJed called from Mutt works. Pasting from another Mutt (session running in a kvt window) into a message being composed in XJed does not work. :( Pasting from that session into XJed running alone in a kvt window _does_ work. Finally, pasting from another Mutt session running in a rxvt or xterm window _does_ work. Now I need to remember to always start from xterm or rxvt when I want to paste into a message. BTW, pasting between kvt, Konsole, xterm, and rxvt works in any combination. Thanks for the reply. -rex

Cannot paste to XJed with Mutt/KDE
Pasting to Xjed running as Mutt's editor worked under RH5.2. With RH6.0 and KDE it does not -- nothing happens. Pasting _from_ Xjed while composing a message still works, but usually I want to go the other way. Any suggestions? TIA, -rex
