Thank you for trying to help.
I found that when I googled, but I did not find it helpful at
first. I think the following is incomplete.
*** `x-select-enable-primary' now defaults to nil.
Thus, commands that kill text or copy it to the kill-ring (such as
M-w, C-w, and C-k) also use the clipboard---not the primary selection.
I think that x-select-enable-primary also affects C-y.
I tried to paste with the scroll wheel, but apparently that generated
mouse-4, not mouse-2. But I really want to paste with the right mouse
button.
In .emacs:
(global-set-key [mouse-3] 'mouse-yank-primary)
In .Xdefaults:
XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \
<Key>BackSpace: string(0x7f) \n\
~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn1Up>: select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD) \n\
~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn3Down>: ignore() \n\
~Shift ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn3Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD)
(When I first tried to post this, I got the backspace invokes help
problem. I put in the fix for that also)
