Thanks, Sorry I was miss-using focus, for the life of me I could remeber selection.. oh well. I did get it to stop removing the selection. I recompiled gnuplot with NOEXPORT defined and it no long takes my selection buffer. Which I think the users are not going to be very happy with. I just recompiled it with the NOEXPORT, but if there was just an X11 resource setting, that would work as well. Though, I need to recompile with the new version anyways so its not so bad. -----Original Message----- From: Hans-Bernhard Broeker [mailto:br...@ph...]=20 Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 9:57 AM To: Grant Schoep Cc: gnu...@li...

"Focus" is the name of the feature that one of the many X11 windows has the focus, meaning that all=20 keyboard input will go to that window. The manager manages and=20 visualizes which window that is. > Meaning, if I double click on a word in the > terminal, then try to use the middle button to paste that word, if > gnuplot does the re read before I hit the middle button, it clears that > mouse buffer. That's not "focus", that's the X11 cut/paste buffer, a.k.a. "selection". Up to version very recent CVS versions, gnuplot's X11 driver always grabbed that buffer each time a new graph is made. In current CVS this can be turned off using an X11 resource. > what I had double clicked on. So I can use the middle mouse button to > paste. I have "noraise" on, so it doesn't steal focus. Noraise is not about focus, either --- that's about z ordering. |
