Preliminaries: – I have tried to post the following issue without being subscribed to the mailing list a few days ago, but according to the archive, it did not get through. While I am now a subscriber, I still probably won't follow the discussion on the list (sorry), so if you you want to make sure that a certain message reaches me, CC it to my personal address. – I would have used the bug tracker for this, but I do not have a Google account. Sorry again, if this is inconvenient. I noticed two misbehaviours of pasteSelection (from Xmonad.Util.Paste): 1. In my setup, most notably with a standard German (QWERTZ) keyboard layout, pasteSelection converts slashes ("/") to sevens ("7"), thus messing up URLs and path names. With a QWERTZ keyboard, you get a slash by pressing Shift-7, so this is probably connected. 2. Whitespaces (space, tab, newline) are lost when pasting with pasteSelection. About my setup: I am calling pasteSelection by keystroke, configured like this in my xmonad.hs: `additionalKeysP` [ ("M-p", spawn "dmenu_run") , ("M-f", sendMessage ToggleStruts) , ("M-v", pasteSelection) ] I am running Xmonad 0.11-7 and Xmonad-contrib 0.11.2-2 on Arch Linux. pasteSelection is a great tool and I would love to see the above issues fixed. If I can help with that (testing?), please let me know. Carlos
