- Has anyone written code in Lisp that successfully handles the X11 copy-paste
- selection. So far, we have just been setting the x cut buffer using
- (setf (xlib:cut-buffer display) str)
- but this isn't good enough when some other application (like xterm) has
- the selection "grabbed" (reverse video).
-
- I can't figure out what to do from the CLX documentation, so I am hoping
- someone has code that already works.
-
- Thanks!
