XJed mouse copy-paste-issue

[Jaakko Saaristo <jsaarist@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all

I long searched for a relief for the XJed copy-paste issue and finally 
found a workaround. I read from some mailing lists on others too that have 
had the issue, at least in KDE, that selected text doesn't end up in X 
clipboard or Klipper, which would be most desirable to be able to paste it 
into other applications. Frustated as I was, I was actually simultaneously 
searching for an alternative editor to use as standard in my work, until I 
found it:

- Edit the file jed-home/lib/mouse.sl.
- In the function copy_kill_to_mouse_buffer, comment the line   
copy_region(Mouse_Buffer);
- Replace the commented statement with   pipe_region("xclip");

Now instead of being copied to an internal mouse buffer, the mouse 
selected area is piped to xclip and ends up where it belongs.

This workaround gets the mouse selecting working (not the keyboard 
regioning though) and doesn't require source code patching and is thus 
applicable to any binary distributions.
