^C, ^X, and ^V work just fine! (I swear I tried that before I posted and they didn't???) > 2) If you need to do any processing on the clipboard data, look at > widget.selection_get [so named because of the way that X handles its > clipboard] From my reading, w.selection_get will return the selected text in w, and places it on the clipboard. I didn't see any way to get data from the clipboard. Thanks, Bill -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
