Re: copy/paste to/from emacs

[Haizi Zheng]

If you want to copy some text from emacs, and then paste it in another
application in X environment, you can have try as add the line below to
you .emacs file:

(global-set-key [C-f11] 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)

This will add a new bind, here is contrl-f11, to replace the default M-w
when copying, then in the other application, the normal paste operation
will work.

By this method, there are two key-bindings, respectively take charge of
the internal-copy-paste affairs and that between eamcs and other 
applications. I admit that this method is a little ugly, is there 
anyone who has better solution on this issue?
