Hello, gpm makes it possible to cut & paste between different console windows.
When running XEmacs on a text mode console though, it grabs the mouse for itself (not sure how it does this). I suspect it might be via gpm. This has the following problems: - it is impossible to see what text I have highlighted until I release the mouse button. - more importantly, it means I can't copy and paste between console windows, as everything goes to/from xemacs private buffer. - I have tried combinations like "shift+mouse" which would work in an xterm, but not here :-( Is it possible to use "normal" cut&paste with xemacs? If not, then perhaps this is a bug in gpm for not allowing it? Is it possible to disable mouse support in xemacs on a console? If so how? I apologize is this is documented somewhere... (another queer thing I noticed, is under a console, the ALT key works as the META key for xemacs, but for X-Windows, the ALT key stays being the ALT key - ie there is no META key. Something else I may try and reconfigure). -- Brian May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
