I use FC6 and I see no problem in copy-paste from/to emacs. I select text using the mouse in a terminal then I paste it in emacs' scratch pad using the middle mouse button. Same with open office, sylpheed, etc.. With the pdf viewer there's a special function to select text. Once this function is used, then I can paste the copied text im emacs using Ctrl-Ins. I must say that I compile my own emacs that I've picked up sometime ago (about 2 years) at the cvs on Savannah. It reports to be of the 22.0.51.1 variety. I compile it using no special switches, just a simple configure, make bootstrap, make install. > 2- The dead key circumflex/trema of my french keyboard is not working > in Emacs: the sequence ^a doesn't give â but a (same with ^e,^i,...). I do not use a French kybd, but a German one. Nevertheless, the French accentuated letters are all available in emacs, as well as when doing copy-paste from other apps. In fact, I reguarly write text in emacs and copy-paste it in Windows' Outlook running in vmware. Cordialement.
