Re: Timeout for messages

[Ram Krishnan]

I use something like the following to show the last 20 or so messages in a 
selection list, and picking one redisplays the message  will copy its contents 
into the clipboard.

(defcommand show-message-window-messages () ()
  "Display a list of message-window messages"
  (let* ((*record-last-msg-override* t)
         (screen (current-screen))
         (sel (select-from-menu screen
                                (screen-last-msg screen)
                                nil)))
    (when sel
      (echo-string-list screen sel)
      (set-x-selection (format nil "~{~a~^~%~}" sel) :clipboard))))

Hope this helps.
