xcutsel - interchange between cut buffer and selection
|

|
|
<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<B>xcutsel</B> [ <I>-toolkitoption</I> ...] [-selection <I>selection</I>] [-cutbuffer <I>number</I>]
|
|
<A NAME="lbAD"> </A>
|
|
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
|
|
|
|
The <I>xcutsel</I> program is used to copy the current selection into a
|
|
cut buffer and to make a selection that contains the current contents of
|
|
the cut buffer. It acts as a bridge between applications that don't support
|
|
selections and those that do.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
By default, <I>xcutsel</I> will use the selection named PRIMARY and the cut
|
|
buffer CUT_BUFFER0. Either or both of these can be overridden by command
|
|
line arguments or by resources.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
An <I>xcutsel</I> window has the following buttons:
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="1"><I> quit</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
When this button is pressed, <I>xcutsel</I> exits. Any selections held by
|
|
<I>xcutsel</I> are automatically released.
|
|
<DT id="2"><I> copy PRIMARY to 0</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
When this button is pressed, <I>xcutsel</I> copies the current selection into
|
|
the cut buffer.
|
|
<DT id="3"><I> copy 0 to PRIMARY</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
When this button is pressed, <I>xcutsel</I> converts the current contents of
|
|
the cut buffer into the selection.
|
|
</DL>
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
The button labels reflect the selection and cutbuffer selected by
|
|
command line options or through the resource database.
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
When the ``copy 0 to PRIMARY'' button is activated, the button will
|
|
remain inverted as long as <I>xcutsel</I> remains the owner of the
|
|
selection. This serves to remind you which client owns the current
|
|
selection. Note that the value of the selection remains constant;
|
|
if the cutbuffer is changed, you must again activate the copy button
|
|
to retrieve the new value when desired.

|
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
|
|
|
|
<I>Xcutsel</I>
|
|
|
|
accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options as well as the
|
|
following:
|
|
<DL COMPACT>
|
|
<DT id="4"><B>-selection </B><I>name</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This option specifies the name of the selection to use. The default is
|
|
PRIMARY. The only supported abbreviations for this option are ``-select'',
|
|
``-sel'' and ``-s'', as the standard toolkit option ``-selectionTimeout'' has a
|
|
similar name.
|
|
<DT id="5"><B>-cutbuffer </B><I>number</I>
|
|
|
|
<DD>
|
|
This option specifies the cut buffer to use. The default is cut buffer 0.
