Autocutsel tracks changes in the X server's cutbuffer and CLIPBOARD
|
|
selection. When the CLIPBOARD is changed, it updates the cutbuffer.
|
|
When the cutbuffer is changed, it owns the CLIPBOARD selection.
|
|
The cutbuffer and CLIPBOARD selection are always synchronized.
|
|
|
|
Autocutsel is mostly useful with window managers since most desktop
|
|
environments today include their own clipboard managers.
|
|
If you dont use a display manager like KDM you can use autocutsel
|
|
by adding an entry to your $HOME/.xinitc file using the -fork option.
|
|
|
|
Some softwares (like OpenOffice Writer) have trouble when the PRIMARY
|
|
selection is requested before the mouse button is released.
|
|
As a workaround, you can run autocutsel with the "-buttonup" option
|
|
and it will only get the selection when the first mouse button is not pressed.
