However, after starting emacs, the first cut/copy from within
emacs is not recognized. In other words, the first time I do a
yank, it pastes whatever I last copied outside emacs, even if I
just did a cut/copy within emacs. I can only yank my emacs text if
I repeat the emacs cut/copy, othewise it just keeps yanking the
external text.
Can anyone help?
I don't have this problem, but every once in a while,
I will have the opposite problem where my center
mouse button will paste an old emacs kill instead
of the text I just marked in some other X-app.
The same seems to be true for GNU Emacsen 22.0.50, 22.2, 23.0.50, and
23.0.60, could be also 23.0.0. I often thought this could be a
problem with the Mac OS X pasteboard (Apple's X11 window manager
mediates between the two worlds) ...
(mouse-sel-mode 1)
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
(setq interprogram-paste-function 'x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value)
I don't set these, but happen to have
t, nil, nil
as values right now.
I have in 23.0.60 t, nil, x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value,
and in 22.2 I have t, t, x-cut-buffer-or-selection-value.
There seem to be reasonable default values, only for 22.2 I've chosen
to set x-select-enable-clipboard to t hoping to avoid the problem I
mentioned before.
I select words in this or that Emacs and copy it to the Mac OS X
pasteboard when X11 won't work. I also "refresh" the pasteboard by
selecting and copying words from Mac OS X applications. This failure
seems to happen up to once per week.
