One way to cut and paste between X11 and Aqua
Authored by: jakshin on Jan 29, '09 09:50:50AM

X11.app does do some synchronization between the main system clipboard and the X11 clipboard (which is why the mentioned pbcopy & pbpaste commands work), so you can also just use middle-click to paste.

So just copy the command you'd like to use from this site, switch to your xterm window, and middle-click.. et voilĂ : the command will appear at the cursor, waiting for you to tap enter to execute it.

I'm not sure how many X11-based programs this works in, but in xterm at least, you can also use Cmd-C to copy text that's displayed in the xterm window into the main system clipboard; just select it with the mouse (now it's in the X clipboard), then tap Cmd-C (now it's in the system clipboard, too).

(10.5.6 using the stock X11)
