Hi,
I wrote a little function that lets me paste the contents of the X11
selection to the currently focused window. I have it working using
the "xdotool" program to perform the paste. The xdotool "types" the
selection kind of slowly and I'd rather not rely on an external
program. Is there a rep/sawfish function I can use to perform the
paste. My searches for one came up empty. Or, is there maybe a
better way to do this?
Here is the function.
(provide 'bv-paste)
(defun xpasteto (w)
"Paste current selection into current window"
(interactive "%f")
(require 'selection)
(let ((selection (x-get-selection 'PRIMARY)))
(let ((cmd (format nil "xdotool type --window %d \"%s\""
(window-id w) selection)))
(system cmd))))
(bind-keys global-keymap "C-M-SPC" xpasteto)
-Brett.
