Elinks for windows1/22/2024 ![]() ![]() The tweak to copy to the clipboard in Xterm To be able to copy from Xterm and paste elsewhere, a tweak is necessary. Note: The tweak will copy to the clipboard buffer, not only to primary. This will make the distinction of primary and clipboard buffers disappear. To make the function take effect immediately, issue this command in the terminal: XTerm*anslations: #override : select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0) If you need the distinction, don’t use this tweak. All this done, the described move to select text with mouse in Xterm should do select-and-copy-to-clipboard so that it can be pasted to any other program on the desktop.Įlinks is a console-based webbrowser that allows some interaction with mouse. ![]() At first glance it’s impossible to grab text, but this works by point-click-and-drag when holding down Shift key. This post is about a specific mismatch of default settings between Manjaro Openbox desktop and Elinks web browser.įor a while I was puzzled why Shift+Left-Click+Drag doesn’t select text in Elinks in Manjaro Openbox desktop, but the answer is stated openly in the default conky script on the desktop: Left-Click+Drag is reserved for moving windows around on the desktop and this conflicts with the function in Elinks despite the distinction of Shift being pressed or not. The solution is to find, in Openbox RC (.config/openbox/rc.xml), the guilty section that causes the mouse behaviour and to remove it or comment it out. Since I removed it already months ago, I don’t even remember what the actual section was – and I am happy about this. The result is that Shift+Left-Click+Drag will select text in Elinks again. Also, dragging windows around remains working, only not in the entire window area any more. Now you have to select precisely the upper window bar to Left-Click+Drag windows on the desktop. ![]() In summer 2013 I set up Elinks text browser. To me it makes sense as a replacement for Opera browser component, because I use Opera primarily to read and type, not watch images or videos. So, this post is for those who don’t care so much about images and videos on the internet, but care a lot about text and urls. Here are snippets from my nf file with comments. I mostly show the changes that emulate Opera plus some inevitable differences from Opera. When you open up Elinks the first time, you can open up configuration options by pressing o and keyboard settings by pressing k. ![]()
