clipboard issue

Rate this Message:
I'm trying to get copy and paste working between X applications and
Windows. I'm running Cygwin 1.5.23(0.156/4/2) on Windows XP Professional. When I run startxwin.sh, the last lines are winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting winProcSetSelectionOwner - Clipboard not yet started, aborting If I comment out the line that launches an xterm, these messages go away. In any event, I can't figure out how to cut and paste between X and windows applications. I've searched the docs, but don't see anything about what style of cut and paste I should expect. That is, is it like X by using the mouse buttons or some other key sequence?

Of course, if you aren't getting Xwin started properly, you can't count on
it to work. Cutting and pasting between Windows and X is a little weird, because each uses its own model. To copy something in an X window, simply highlight it. This does place it in the clipboard. To paste, click the center mouse button. Windows cut/paste has a bunch of possibilities, but to copy highlight, then select Copy from the menu, type Cntl+C or type Cntl+Insert. To paste, select paste from the menu, type Cntl+V or Shift+Insert. By the way, I tend to do this an awful lot between Cygwin and Windows, for whatever reason, it seems a little cranky in the address bar of a browser, but everything else seems to work just fine. Hope this helps 72/73 de WB8RCR http://www.qsl.net/wb8rcr didileydadidah QRP-L #1446 Code Warriors #35 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brandon Metcalf" <bmetcalf@...> To: <cygwin-xfree@...> Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2008 9:47 AM Subject: clipboard issue > I'm trying to get copy and paste working between X applications and > Windows.

Had the same problem until I added the argument: -emulate3buttons to my startxwin.sh, at the line that starts X.
The problem isn't in your clipboard but in your inability to interact properly with it. Now, start two xterms.... fill your copy buffer by highlighting some text in one window. move to other window, and hit both mouse buttons at the same time... should paste the text to that second window.
