I got this fixed with a new version of autocutsel, version 0.10.0 from http://www.nongnu.org/autocutsel (previous was 0.9.1). I found it, ran the usual ./configure; make; make install [1] and ran it. No more issues with cut/paste at all...it just works...every time. Copy/paste from X11 to other side: * Just select as usual (no edit->copy, or the key between CTRL and ALT---never can remember the Mac names for those) ?-C, settings in xterm, etc. Just highlight what you want to copy as usual (except in gvim, where there's a different keyboard shortcut defined in Mac squigglies that I can't read ... so I use the menu there). * Paste into other side as usual. Copy/paste from other side to X11: * Copy from other side as usual. * To paste into X, middle-click and it's done (except in gvim, where sometimes doing that will get you several copies pasted, so it's sometimes easier to use the menu to cut and paste if gvim is doing that). Thanks, --jim [1] I'm 99% sure I didn't need any extra options for configure...but my memory, damaged along with other parts of my brain during my first cancer, could be lying to me. -- THE SCORE: ME: 2 CANCER: 0 My online handmade jewelry store - https://handmadejewelry.jdgblogs.com My freeware hurricane tracking system - https://jstrack.org/jstrack/ 73 DE N5IAL (/4) | AN EXERCISE is a situation in which you stop what [email protected] | you're doing in order to simulate doing what you < Running Mac OS X HS > | were doing so you can show someone else that you ICBM / Hurricane: | can simulate what you were doing as well as you 30.439947N 86.635177W | were doing it before you were interrupted. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
