terminal - Xterm*selectToClipboard doesn't work when put in Xresources -
i have problem xterm , can't figure out wrong:
i need enable option *selecttoclipboard
in xterm able copy text in terminal.
to firstly tried "manually" start xterm option following command: xterm -xrm 'xterm*selecttoclipboard: true'
work well.
then enable option each time xterm started put following line xterm*selecttoclipboard: true
in ~/.xresources
, used command xrdb -merge ~/.xresources
update settings doesn't work: xterm starts option isn't enabled , can't copy text terminal whereas other options in xresources
enabled , work fine.
does have idea of cause problem?
short answer: need add line bellow in /etc/x11/app-defaults/xterm
file
*selecttoclipboard: true
long answer: if @ man pages xterm(1):
man xterm files actual pathnames given may differ on system. ... /etc/x11/app-defaults/xterm xterm default application resources. /etc/x11/app-defaults/xterm-color xterm color application resources. if display supports color, use *customization: -color in .xdefaults file automatically use resource file rather /etc/x11/app-defaults/xterm. if not this, xterm uses compiled-in default resource settings colors. ...
i did not find reference user configuration file set xterm application defaults, except xterm-color
, don't think exists.
