Ah, that would be:
(defun copy-to-x-clipboard ()
(interactive)
(with-current-buffer (current-buffer)
(call-process-region (region-beginning) (region-end) "xsel" nil 0
nil "-p" "-i")))
(unless (window-system)
(global-set-key "\M-w" 'copy-to-x-clipboard))
Thanks, that works excellently!
How would I write a corresponding defun that uses xsel when it does
*kill-region*, C-w?
Can I reuse the copy-to-x-clipboard function, and write something like
this (if you see what I mean):
(unless (window-system)
( global-set-key "\C-w"
copy-to-x-clipboard
and-then
erase-region
))
?
Thanks in advance
