I have tried something like your suggestion some time ago, only to discover that it does not work on Debian 4.0 + KDE 3.5.5. See this post for details: http://pdimitar.wordpress.com/2006/11/29/gnu-emacs-universal-way-to-put-text-in-clipboard/

I have no idea by now whether this will be fixed or not, because I am not sure whether it was the right function I called. However, as you can see in the referenced post, using clipboard-kill-ring-save solved my problems.

Of course, I appreciate every useful piece of info anyone wants to post here, and I thank you very much. In this case, I never knew how to define keyboard shortcuts in Emacs in more descriptive way rather to type “C-X-something”, which actually does not work for some combinations, as far as I tried it.

Thanks and take care.

(interactive "r")
(copy-region-as-kill beg end)
(deactivate-mark)
)
(define-key ctl-x-map "=" 'copy-region-as-kill-clear-mark)


I think C-x = is bound by default to something which I never use — check and see with “C-h k C-x =”

I do not use “man” and “info” often anyway. Although I am a trained cross-platform programmer, I have been using actively (and solely) Debian Etch and KDE for just a week. I catch up with Linux hundreds of times faster than the people around me, but still, Linux is not a small thing. KDE is not easier, too. It just takes some time.

So, on the topic, I use http://delorie.com and http://emacswiki.org most of the time anyway, so I will be untouched by this change.

The license stuff is very tough and important area though. If somebody does not accept Debian’s license, this human is either a Microsoft spy, or is just headstrong.

I think Emacs documentation in gnu.org and emacswiki will be untouched.

Debian developers complains about Emacs documentation don’t satisfied DFSG licence. So it’s a debian issue.

PS.: About languages - I can understand your cv page in Bulgarian, but I don’t even know Bulgarian

I think our two languages are really close to each other.

[Russian] — there is no Russian variant of this, I have been speaking Russian looooooooooong time ago, I still understand almost everything, but I cannot speak it good anymore.

Yes, I know it is not an easy to read documentation, and I know that we are all sick of loooooong looooong manuals, but what could we do? Read if you want.

JFY, in Debian Etch Emacs and Gnus documentation will be move in non-free.
I’ve recently install Gnus from testing, and it comes without info manual. I download source tarball from gnus.org and manually put info in ~/doc/info

I think, Emacs without documentation is totally useless. I read it everyday, Just like book

What a pity.

Roman,

I have studied this issue some time ago; I remember a lot of people have tried to use `nXML + mule-ucs’. I cannot remember everything right now, but the conclusion simply was:

“nXML does not work with mule-ucs.”

I personally use leim. I have never tried `mule-ucs’ and I really cannot tell the difference, but it works well enough for me.

I am not 100% sure that this cannot be done, it’s just that I have never tried to do this.

Роман, я очитал статии твоим проблема и я увидел что некакие Эмакс юзери сказали: nXML не работает совместно с mule-ucs. У меня `leim’ и для мне это хорошо, но я не могу сказать какая чем разница помежду `mule-ucs’ и `leim’.

Я не очень много убеден, что это невозможно, но я никогда пытался сделать эта операция.
