I'm using the following bind to get the x clipboard into the paste buffer and then paste it:
bind P eval 'exec sh -c "xsel -n -o -b > /tmp/screen-exchange"' 'readbuf' 'paste .' There seems to be some kind of timing problem, because readbuf seems to execute before xsel has pasted and pastes the old contents of screen-exchange. If I execute it twice, it works as it should. If I just have the xsel command it does copy into screen-exchange so I know that that's working, and I can then run 'c-a < c-a ]' and it works that way too. I tried adding a sleep command in there but it didn't make any difference. Any ideas on how to get this working? -- A Linux machine!
