There have been some changes in how emacs handles selections,
starting with emacs-24.1. Look at the NEWS file ('C-h n') and
search for "selection changes". It describes the changes and tells
you how to restore the old behavior.
Yes! The important one for me is
(setq x-select-enable-primary t)
Thank you very much for the quick and informative answer!
Are you talking about X11 emacs, or emacs in a terminal?
I have this in my ~/.emacs file on both Linux and Cygwin:
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)
I see in the news file that it's now set by default.
It has always worked in graphical emacs but has never
worked in a terminal on either Linux or Cygwin.
But I sure would like it to work in a terminal. Are you
able to paste clipboard text in emacs in a terminal?
When I run emacs in mintty, I can paste clipboard text with Shift-Insert.
