No. Cut and paste is handled by the toolkit, not by X itself. For XTerm, you can use the selectToClipboard resource, e.g.: XTerm.vt100.selectToClipboard: true For Athena-based programs (e.g. xpdf), you can override the translations, e.g.: *Text.translations: #override \n\ ~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) -- Glynn Clements <glynn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
