+title: X11 keybindings for easier terminal clipboard handling
+date: 2015-02-12 15:35:15+01:00
+format: md
+;;;;;
+
+After years of annoyance with the X11 behaviour for clipboard and selection
+handling with regards to terminal applications, I managed to find a good
+compromise via some additional shortcurts in my window manager of choice, dwm
+and terminal multiplexer, tmux.
+
+Now, pressing `C-o p` (in tmux) pastes from X11 primary selection, `C-o P` from
+the clipboard and `Linux-z` (meaning the key formerly known is Windows key)
+exchanges clipboard and primary selection, so no more awkward pasting and
+selecting with the mouse in order to get the correct string in the correct
+location.
+
+As before this is public at the
+[customisations](https://github.com/Ferada/dwm/tree/customisations) branch on
+Github; I still have to upload the tmux part though.
