A script to enable XEmacs to OS X clipboard sharing
Authored by: merlyn on Jul 15, '03 12:00:56PM

I didn't need to do this at all. What I did notice is that if I had defined something in the cutbuffer, then hit command-C, it was also in Aqua's clipboard. And when I want to paste something from Aqua, I put it in Aqua's clipboard, then went to XEmacs, and hit middle-button (option button on a normal mac mouse).

No extra software needed. Not sure why this hint is here.

A script to enable XEmacs to OS X clipboard sharing
Authored by: montuori on Jul 15, '03 12:36:10PM

i found it useful for a couple reasons: in my X configuration the command key is mapped to meta, since physically it's located where meta should be, so command-c (now meta-c) runs capitalize-region-or-word as expected. mousing to the X11 menu to select "copy" is tedious at best. further, mousing with the trackpad on the powerbook and option-clicking to paste isn't particularly convenient either.

so although it's not strictly necessary, mapping the cut and paste to key combinations feels more emacs-ish to me. your mileage varied. cheers!
