Thank you Ed,

I did not see your answer last time when I checked the newsgroup while Windows. I am presently working in Linux and will check your suggestions as soon as I go back to Windows.

Cheers,

Alexandre

Hi all,

I use Cygwin under Windows 7. I managed to paste from Windows into Emacs
by adding
'"shift insert": paste-from-clipboard'
to my .inputrc file.

However I still cannot paste from Emacs into a Windows application
unless I use the mouse to select in Emacs.

I have played with x-select-enable-clipboard,
interprogram-paste-function etc. with no avail. I do not run X on Cygwin.

Any suggestion?

Alexandre



Also, since you mentioned it, try checking whether these are set (they
may be hard-wired during the build since they don't seem to be
customizable):

"
interprogram-cut-function is a variable defined in `simple.el'.
Its value is x-select-text

interprogram-paste-function is a variable defined in `simple.el'.
Its value is x-get-selection-value

"

I don't know if they are appropriate when using Cygwin but they work on
the w32 native build at least on ver. 23.3

Ed
