Odd.
...just complicated. But your followup was helpful.
=> Clipboard contents did not change at all. Are you sure clipboard
contents changed in your case and not just the primary selection?
I was actually reading the debugging trace. But using your script,
I do see a difference. It was actually copying to primary based on
this line in the default translations:
<BtnUp>:select-end(SELECT, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
changing that to
<BtnUp>:ignore() \n\
lets the keypress translation do what you want.
