- I just installed lucid, and it's basically great. I'm trying to handle
- some of the rough edges (as compared to what I had with epoch) and have
- not found my answers. First, though, is there a news group dedicated to
- lucid emacs? I only know about help-lucid-emacs and bug-lucid-emacs mail
- addresses.
-
- Now for my real questions...
-
- 1) I've found out how to configure the function keys and Ln and Rn keys
- on my Sun Sparc 2. (It's set up for Lucid widgets, not OLIT, even though
- we are running OL.) I can't figure out how to make the Copy, Paste and
- Cut keys work with lucid. I had figured out how to make them work under
- epoch with stuff like mouse::copy-zone as defined in motion.el (well, a
- modified version of motion.el sent to me and further customized). Can it
- use the OpenLook functions, and thus copy text from another Sun window
- into lucid?
-
- 2) I've figured out how to change the default font for lucid (by adding
- Emacs*default.attributeFont: -*-menu-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
- to my .Xdefaults file. Well, I thought I could also change the mouse
- pointer to look like what our regular Sun mouse pointer is (#132 from
- the X11 cursor library). I added the line
- Emacs*textPointer: XC_top_left_arrow
- but it still uses the old cross hairs, and sometimes complains about not
- being able to convert string "XC_top_left_arrow" to type Cursor.
-
- Any ideas about either?
