Apple X11 copy

[prev] [thread] [next] [lurker] [Date index for 2004/12/14]

Its simple.  I highlight something in an X window.  I hit Cmd-c to copy
it.  I go to a native Apple application.  I hit Cmd-v to paste.  Nothing.
Or maybe its something I copied a few minutes ago.  So I do it again.  Copy.
Paste.  Nothing.

Copy.  Paste.  Nothing.
Copy Paste Nothing.
Copy Paste Nothing.
Copy Copy Copy Copy Copy Paste Nothing.
Copy Copy Paste AHHH!  It FINALLY FUCKING WORKED!

Sometimes it seems to work if I first cut something in a native buffer,
like there's some sort of corruption in the clipboard and it has to be
cleared.

The only thing that works consistently is pasting into XEmacs and using
its explicit Edit->Copy menu command.

Its CUT AND PASTE!  How hard can it be, Apple?!
