No scripts, but habit--yes. I am in the habit of using the clipboard and primary selections independently, carrying different data in them. I moved from xterm to st. But it's not just xterm, *no other program* I use sets the clipboard from merely selecting text, and there is good reason for this. I have applied the patch posted to the list recently, so that st behaves in the way that I like. It is no longer causing me any trouble. It is still my opinion that the default behavior of st should change, but that's just my opinion. It would be nice to at least to have the patch included at http://st.suckless.org/patches/. -- http://www.fastmail.com - Access all of your messages and folders wherever you are
