Hmm. OK, I use this many ways. Sometimes, I click button 2, sometimes
I type Ctl-Y. Either way, I am very habituated to the selected text
being pasted.
I want to avoid having to remember Ctl-W/Ctl-C *ESPECIALLY* because I
don't even have Cmd-C working on my Mac. I have to use the pull down menu
to access "edit->copy". That becomes especially interesting when my
mouse crosses other emacs windows because if the mouse touches one
of them, then the selected text is no longer current and "edit->copy" grabs
a different block of text.
So, here's what I want: I want the selected text to be inserted into all
buffers that relate to pasting of any sort. If Mouse-2 and Ctl-Y refer to
different buffers, then both buffers should have the selected text.
How do I do this?
Thank you so much!! Regards, Bruce
