Copy paste x11 mac os x
Even tried killing the process "pboard", but all to no result. My problem was to select a text in XQuartz window and paste it in to excel. I open the preferences, and I unchecked the first three options under "enable synching" option in the "pasteboard" tab, leaving "Update Pasteboard immediately when new text is selected" checked. That solved my problem. Occasionally it works well in both directions, then it simply stopped working for no reason.
I have made a lot of experiments trying to figure out the trick in it but got nothing. But one thing is for sure: I've also tried toggling the XQuartz preference buttons in almost all combinations and didn't make any difference. Going from the Mac to XQuartz almost never works. But someone at my company figured out a workaround that works every time so far.
Copy the text on the mac 2. Switch to XQuartz via one of the menu bars 3.
An Introduction to X11 on OS X
At the top menu bar, click and unclick the "Edit" menu 4. Paste Hopefully this gives enough clues what should be fixed. I use xQuartz exclusively for it's functionality of syncing the X11 clipboard to the OS X pasteboard, so this breaks my workflow https: I, too, experience that XQuartz will sync the clipboard to the pasteboard at the moment when I change some setting related to syncing.
For example: I'm open to putting in some effort to help find some root cause. Jeremy, current assignee, is this on your To-Do list? Can you provide some guidance on additional data that might be helpful? It was working fine up until that point. Here are a few things that happened right before it stopped working: So I'm not sure what the root cause is, but here's what I'm observing: After all sorts of turning on and off of XQuartz preferences and trying to figure it out, for convenience, I stopped using BBEdit and tried copy from Safari actually text from the bugzilla page and lo and behold, the paste worked.
I tried BBEdit, same problem, no paste. I tried TextEdit, copy of random text and paste into XQuartz worked. Copied that text from TextEdit and tried pasting into XQuartz, no go, the clipboard remained the same as the last test. Tried other text, it worked.

Tried my Lisp text, not. Finally realized that it was the specific text and probably the apostrophe that was preventing the paste: I hope that this may help track down the issue. I'll avoid apostrophes for now. Your sample includes a single quite, not an apostrophe.
I tested with both an apostrophe and a single quote, and both worked fine Similar steps to repro as Derrick Rice: I read through the contributing guidelines but can't successfully build and run the xorg-server with XCode. Are there better instructions for contributing to XQuartz with XCode somewhere? Charles Comment 13 Amr If you are using If X11 it is installed, it should be in your Application folder and its called X Open that and a terminal similar to the real terminal program can be seen, but it is X Yeah, I had X11 already installed, but the only difference seems to be this message when trying to launch xclipboard: Thu Oct 28 This hint works great with Matlab v7.

FWIW, I'm running I was also having paste issues to a remote xterm. I had X Then paste would only work in the original xterm. If I opened a new xterm on the remote machine, I wouldn't be able to paste. The solution was to use 'trusted X11 forwarding' in ssh as opposed to normal X11 forwarding: Apparently there is a security hole if you do this in that root on the remote machine can keylog, etc.
But it allows paste to work. Lost your password?

I have had a major problem doing a copy from Aqua and paste into X Copy from X11 and paste into Aqua works fine, but not the other way. The Aqua clipboard would seemingly never paste into anything except xterm -- and that required the stupid option-click nonsense. Recently I discovered the little X11 utility xclipboard included with Apple's X This has made a big difference and seems to have exposed a bug.
It presents the current contents of the X clipboard, and will also keep a list of clippings that have been made. If I copy in Aqua, then click in xclipboard , then click in my target X11 app, I can paste there. This is pretty low impact for getting things done. I have also noticed that very often xclipboard displays my Aqua clipping automatically, but then if I click one of my target X11 apps, the previous X11 clip contents get pasted in, superseding what I just copied from Aqua. But then I can get it back by hitting the [Prev] button in xclipboard, and use the same data anyway.
Maybe I have my X11 set up wrong, but even if I do, I can fix it with xclipboard. The following comments are owned by whoever posted them.
