It looks like selectionChanged only reacts to explicit user events (mouse click or cursor moved via keyboard navigation).  If I select a chunk of text in another app and drag it in, the same thing happens (it is selected but no selectionChanged message).  If I script a button to select a chunk,

Re: cr, lf, and reading in terminals/vim

The reason for the difficulty is that internally LC uses LF as the line ending. The cr, lf, and return constants all actually map to LF. When you write a text file, LC will convert line endings to the native format. So for Windows you get CRLF, Linux gets LF, and Mac gets CR. I take issue with
