Q: How do I copy and paste using X11 for Mac OS X?
A: X11 for Mac OS X allows cut and paste between X11 and native applications using PRIMARY and PASTEBOARD selections.
You can cut text from X11 applications by selecting the text, performing a cmd-c or copy operation. You can paste in native Mac OS X applications as usual using Cmd-V.
Because there is no standard for pasting in X11 applications (some use middle mouse button, some use control-v, etc.), cmd-v doesn't work for pasting in X11 applications by design. As a result, the "Paste" menu item will be grayed out when X11 applications are in focus. You should use the control-v or the middle mouse button instead for pasting (See X11 Preferences for emulating a middle mouse button).
The "Paste" menu option will be active when non-X windows are active within X11.app (e.g., when entering text in the "Customize Applications" menu item).
A common request has been to make cmd-v work across all X11 applications. This isn't possible without re-writing all X11 applications to standardize on a single approach, which is outside the domain of X11 for Mac OS X.
Please, try option-click on X11 applications. The 'enable key equivalence' in the X11 Preferences allows cmnd-c to work, but in some cases it has conflict with other keyboard shortcuts, namely on emacs.

xkbdfltmap
xkbdfltmap(1X) xkbdfltmap(1X)
NAME
xkbdfltmap - Determine default X keymap for locale and keyboard
SYNOPSIS
xkbdfltmap [options]
OPTIONS
lang specifies a string to be used instead of the console language. This option is useful for locales that cannot be specified in the con-
sole. This option is only used if XKB is active in the server. kbd specifies a string to be used instead of the console keyboard. This
option is useful for keyboard types that cannot be uniquely identified by the kernel. For example, the kernal identifies the Microsoft
Natural Keyboard as a PCXAL. If XKB is not active in the server, file specifies the xmodmap command. The default is /usr/bin/X11/xmodmap.
If XKB is not active in the server, file specifies the file containing the information necessary to determine what xmodmap keymap to use
based upon the console language and keyboard type. The default is /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xkeymaps. If XKB is active in the server, file speci-
fies the XKB keyboard compiler. The default is /usr/bin/X11/xkbcomp. If XKB is active in the server, path specifies the top-level direc-
tory that contains the XKB keymaps. The default is /usr/lib/X11/xkb. If XKB is active in the server, file specifies the file containing
the information necessary to determine what XKB keymap to use based upon the console language and keyboard type. The default is
/usr/lib/X11/keymaps.dir. Specifies whether execute the necessary command to download the keymap to the server after determining the
default, or whether to just print out the necessary command. Specify -exec to download the keymap. Specify -noexec to just print out the
necessary command. The default is -noexec. If the -noexec command is specified, and XKB is active in the server, the -file option
instructs xkbdfltmap to print out just the XKB keymap file that contains the keymap. A keymap will not be downloaded to the server if
-file is used. If the -noexec command is specified, and XKB is active in the server, the -map option instructs xkbdfltmap to print out
just the XKB keymap name. A keymap will not be downloaded to the server if -map is used.
DESCRIPTION
The xkbdfltmap command queries the system console for the language and keyboard settings. Then, based upon whether the XKB server exten-
sion is active in the server, it will optionally download an xmodmap file from /usr/lib/X11/keymaps or an XKB keymap file from
/usr/lib/X11/xkb to the server.

/usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xkeymaps
