Re: [STUMP] Re: Stumpwm-devel Digest, Vol 42, Issue 8

Hi,

I see that you have a couple of good answers already, and they do not
seem to be what you are looking for, so could you give a detailed
example of exactly  what you are looking for, and we could help you
out.

Unclear points from your question:
 - Where is the string coming from?  The clipboard?
 - Can you give a specific example of what you mean by "the necessary
formatting"
 - When I say exactly, I mean something that even my small brain can
   follow, such as
   - I have text here
   - I hit my keybinding and it is read from here (could be interactive)
   - formatted in this way
   - and inserted over here

While not understanding exactly what you are looking for, my
overwhelming impression is that the previous answers are what you want
and that emacs might be the answer to all your prayers. :)
