Emacs has its own clipboard, a ring buffer. The top item in emacs' ring buffer is supposed to also be the clipboard entry for X. For example, I just went to a gnome terminal, highlighted some text, and returned to emacs. With C-Y, I had the text in emacs. I've occasionally had problems moving text between Acroread or OpenOffice.org and Emacs, but they do weird things with their clipboard code. My workaround is to shut both applications down and restart them. To make life easier, look into desktop mode for emacs (desktop.el). > > 2- The dead key circumflex/trema of my french keyboard is not working in > Emacs: the sequence ^a doesn't give � but a (same with ^e,^i,...). Emacs has its own text entry methods. You may want to look into leim, the Library of Emacs Input Methods.
