It's not a bug...
No... surely not. But if you're using Wing IDE for example and you edit files with an X11 based editor, you might want to sync your clipboards. Thing is: it seems MacOS 10.5's X11.app doesn't allow this by default and there's no option for that based on the frontend.
Edit the plist
Let X11.app's Preference menu activate the native key-set emulation to make use of the Apple keys. Do not use this preference panel again because it'll undo the following:
This options-file is located in ~/Library/Preferences/ org.x.X11.plist. The Plist-Editor is part of the Xcode development tools. Activate what you need.
That's it!
So hopefully now you've saved some time. Consider the following as an appendix in order to make more use of Xterm and other applications that are X11 based and useful on a MacOS system:
.Xressources
- xterm*cursorColor: green
- xterm*pointerColor: blue
- xterm*foreground: white
- xterm*background: black
- rxvt*foreground: white
- rxvt*background: black
- rxvt*font: fixed
- xterm*scrollBar: true
- xterm*saveLines: 5000
- xterm*color4: blue
- xterm*trimSelection: true
- xterm*printerCommand: cat >> /Users/wishi/xterm-print-output
- XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \
- <KeyPress> Prior: scroll-back(1,page) \n\
- <KeyPress> Next: scroll-forw(1,page) \n\
- Meta <KeyPress> W: quit() \n\
- Meta <KeyPress> V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD,PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
- <BtnUp>: select-end(CLIPBOARD,PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
~/.xinitrc
- #! /bin/sh
- # Load the .Xresources file
- xrdb -l ~/.Xresources
- # if you don't use quartz-wm use it at least to
- # sync the osX clipboard with the X11 CLIPBOARD
- # quartz-wm --only-proxy &
- quartz-wm
- xterm &
- xterm
Now have fun,
