Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8
Severity: important
I wanted to try to use CLIPBOARD instead of CUT_BUFFER0, so that
copy-paste between xterm and Mozilla (in fact, not only Mozilla,
but other GTK+ applications too) work in any case. So, I modified
*VT100.translations in my .app-defaults/XTerm file:
*VT100.translations: #override \n\
<Ctrl>Up: scroll-back(1, line) \n\
<Ctrl>Down: scroll-forw(1, line) \n\
<BtnUp>: select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD) \n\
~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD)
But now, inserting selections with the button 2 no longer works:
nothing happens. Even if I replace CLIPBOARD by CUT_BUFFER0 above,
I can't insert selections either, though this is documented in the
xterm man page as being the default ("default bindings in the VT102
window").
Setting as "important" since in fact many applications seem not to
support CUT_BUFFER0 (Mozilla, Opera, gnome-terminal, Liferea, Straw
are the ones I tried, and since cut buffers are said to be obsolete,
this won't change).
