can we capture (grab) xorg clipboard information directly without pressing middle button?
Hi,
I am curious. Lets say I highlight some text, in a document and it "gets sent to the clipboard". (xclipboard seems to be a client
not the clipboard itself).
Is there a way to capture that data directly, without middle click into a text destination, so that I can then
manipulate that data with a program, perhaps tied to a hotkey sequence.
Here is a use case.
I have a big document that I will want to do a regexp manipulation on and then paste. Can I do that in one step
by binding to a hotkey sequence?
Where is the data stored after I highlight text??
Mitchell
