Xterm configuration : how to copy/paste in the CLIPBOARD
Hi,
I can paste what is in the CLIPBOARD but I can't get xterm copy. and in fact I think I'm not able to select well with the cursor (I don't want to use the mouse)...
here is my ~/.Xresources file :
to apply modifications I type in a terminal : xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources
then I launch my xterm.
initially I have my xterm terminal :
I press F7 (to show you what I have in my CLIPBOARD)
I erease it then I type 1234 in my terminal to have some datas that I can try to copy. My goal is to copy "34"
I press F8 to start the cursor selection ... but the cursor disapears ... I dunno why. I continue by pressing twice "left" key to move the invisible cursor.
then I press F9 to end the cursor selection ... magically the cursor comes back visible
I would suppose that in my clipboard that I have "34" so I paste it : F7 ... but nothing has changed in the clipboard
I try with "extend": I press "right" key twice to move the cursor then I press F10.
Here, indeed I have highlighted what I want to copy
I then press F9(to end the selection) and then I press F7 to paste my clipboard ... but nothing has changed

DESCRIPTION
vte is simply a window wrapped around the vte embeddable terminal emulation control, which does most of the work for gnome-terminal. vte is
used mainly to test the control. Most users do not need to use vte directly, but use gnome-terminal instead.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-2 Toggle double buffering. Enabled by default.
-A Toggle antialiasing. The default is that of the current GTK+ default.
-a Toggle audible bell on/off. If audible bell is enabled, visible bell is disabled. If audible bell is disabled, visible bell
is enabled. Audible bell enabled by default.
-B image Use image as background.
-b Toggle cursor blinking. Enabled by default.
-C Open a "console" connection.
-c command Fork the specified command.
-D Use dingus clicking: as the cursor moves over text matching a certain pattern, the matched text is highlighted and the cur-
sor changes shape. Disabled by default.
-d Toggle update debugging. Disabled by default.
-f font Specify the font to use. Default font is "Sans 12".
-g Toggle whether to set geometry hints if font is changed. Enabled by default.
-h Toggle highlighting. Disabled by default.
-i Toggle whether to obey attempts to set the icon name, if applications running in the terminal request this.
-k Toggle whether to keep program running after GTK main loop. Disabled by default.
-n Specify the number of scrollback lines. Minumum number of scrollback lines is 100. Default number of scrollback lines is
100.

-s Toggle whether to scroll background image along with text. This option is only useful when combined with the -B option.
Disabled by default.
-T Use transparent background. Overrides the -B option.
-t terminal-typeSpecify the terminal type to emulate.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
vte is designed to emulate the xterm program provided by the X Consortium. In turn, xterm is an almost complete emulation of the DEC VT102
terminal. vte supports the same extensions to VT102 as those provided by xterm, through special escape sequences.
xterm is an evolving program. Recent changes to xterm have been been incorporated into vte. This includes emulation of the newer DEC VT220
escape sequences.
