copy/paste doesn't work on X11 through the primary selection.
In other words, when there's only one interprogram buffer to put
selected text, it is analogous to all the X selection facilities.
Anyway, I'm unconvinced. The MS-DOS port will copy to the clipboard
under select-active-regions.
Shrug. I then strongly recommend the approach taken is to create the
x-select-active-regions-enable-primary and
x-select-active-regions-enable-clipboard variable I just proposed
elsepost, and set ..-enable-clipboard to t on msdos, rather than
mysteriously conflating primary and clipboard within
x-set-selection/x-get-selection/x-selection-owner-p
for no good reason.
For the w32 build, I'd like to hear
other maintainers who work on the w32 build, but my opinion is that it
should do that as well.
w32 doesn't change the meaning of passing 'PRIMARY vs. 'CLIPBOARD to
x-set-selection/x-get-selection/x-selection-owner-p , it
just sets x-select-enable-clipboard to t so that killing and yanking
uses the clipboard.
Similarly, it could set the proposed
x-select-active-regions-enable-clipboard
to t by default if you wanted select-active-regions to affect the
clipboard by default.
