Hi,
I can paste what is in the CLIPBOARD but I can't get xterm copy. and in fact I think I'm not able to select well with the cursor (I don't want to use the mouse)...
here is my ~/.Xresources file :
XTerm*highlightSelection: true
XTerm*VT100.translations: #override \n\
None <Key>F7: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
None <Key>F8: select-cursor-start() \n\
None <Key>F9: select-cursor-end(CLIPBOARD) \n\
None <Key>F10: select-cursor-extend()
to apply modifications I type in a terminal : xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
then I launch my xterm.
initially I have my xterm terminal :
I press F7 (to show you what I have in my CLIPBOARD)
I erease it then I type 1234 in my terminal to have some datas that I can try to copy. My goal is to copy "34"
I press F8 to start the cursor selection ... but the cursor disapears ... I dunno why. I continue by pressing twice "left" key to move the invisible cursor.
then I press F9 to end the cursor selection ... magically the cursor comes back visible
I would suppose that in my clipboard that I have "34" so I paste it : F7 ... but nothing has changed in the clipboard
I try with "extend": I press "right" key twice to move the cursor then I press F10.
Here, indeed I have highlighted what I want to copy
I then press F9(to end the selection) and then I press F7 to paste my clipboard ... but nothing has changed
I dunno what's wrong. May someone help me please?
