Comment #15 on issue 317 by ale...@feldgendler.ru: Implement a working X.U.putSelection http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=317 The clean way to do this would probably be for XMonad to have a hidden window and handle its selection events in the main loop. However, this won't fix the situation when the text is pasted into a prompt because the prompt runs its own event loop. To fix this, various nested event loops such as the one in Prompt (are there more?) should somehow invoke the global event handler as well. This will also fix the issue where XMonad doesn't notice new client windows while a prompt is active. I'm fine with using xclip for now. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
