If you are running KDE, reply and I'll try to help you. (I'm at a Windows machine right now.) In general terms look for options with respect to klipper -- you may need to set a couple, like don't synchronize the clipboard and selection and/or ignore the selection. My current setup is such that the middle button selection and cut and paste via <ctrl>x,v,c are independent but both function. I.e., I can copy and paste with <ctrl>x,v,c or the selection / middle button, but the selection won't override anything copied via <ctrl>x,v,c. I suspect there may be ways to do it in other desktop / window managers (GNOME, Icewm), whatever, but I'm not familiar with them. BTW: * klipper is neat in that I can copy seven (or more) items to separate buffers for repasting. (Unfortunately, selecting which buffer to paste requires "opening" klipper and selecting (clicking on) the one I'd like to paste. * building on the above, it would be nice if shortcut keys were expanded so that I could copy and paste to a specific klipper buffer. For example, maybe <ctrl>c,2 would copy something to the 2nd klipper buffer, and <ctrl>v,2 would paste the second buffer. * I've made suggestions to kde (the developer of klipper) along those lines which have not so far been implemented (probably two years ago. (They have fulfilled some other requests.) * Yes, I know those suggestions are more appropriate to kde, but maybe the same functionality could be implemented in X. (I know (think) X has something similar to klipper, but I forget what it's called. (And I suspect klipper is a wrapper around the X thingie, with some additional functionality added.) * While I'm mentioning things I'd like to have, how about a keyboard macro facility. (It is somewhere on the (fairly new) Xfree86 bugzilla.)
