mouse-yank-primary and mouse-yank-secondary don't like
inserting non-ascii chars from other apps.
They need to use the slightly higher-level
(x-selection-value 'PRIMARY)
or at least give a 'TEXT arg to their
(x-get-selection 'PRIMARY 'TEXT),
so that the proper kinds of selection type are tried
as e.g. attached.
...
- (let ((primary (x-get-selection 'PRIMARY)))
+ (let ((primary (x-selection-value 'PRIMARY)))
(if primary
- (insert (x-get-selection 'PRIMARY))
+ (insert (x-selection-value 'PRIMARY))
(error "No primary selection"))))
...
- (let ((secondary (x-get-selection 'SECONDARY)))
+ (let ((secondary (x-selection-value 'SECONDARY)))
(if secondary
- (insert (x-get-selection 'SECONDARY))
+ (insert (x-selection-value 'SECONDARY))
(error "No secondary selection"))))
Can someone explain why the result of x-get-selection/x-selection-value
is bound to a variable, but instead of referencing the variable in the
insert function call the expression is evaluated again? I.e. why not
change it to:
(let ((primary (x-selection-value 'PRIMARY)))
(if primary
(insert primary)
(error "No primary selection"))))
...
(let ((secondary (x-selection-value 'SECONDARY)))
(if secondary
(insert secondary)
(error "No secondary selection"))))
Thanks,
