This only occurs when I turn evil-mode on!
Whenever I make a selection, either through evil or the mouse, the selection gets automatically copied into the clipboard. I have set
(setq select-active-regions nil)
(setq mouse-drag-copy-region nil)
(setq x-select-enable-primary nil)
but that doesn't seem to do anything.
Any help? Please?
Edit: I am using the GUI version of the the build found at emacsformacosx.com
It turns out it was evil-mode that did that! The answer can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17127009/how-to-disable-emacs-evil-selection-auto-copies-to-clipboard/23254728#23254728
This is the code snippet that solved it:
; Override the default x-select-text function because it doesn't
; respect x-select-enable-clipboard on OS X.
(defun x-select-text (text))
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard nil)
(setq x-select-enable-primary nil)
(setq mouse-drag-copy-region nil)
(setq interprogram-cut-function 'ns-set-pasteboard)
(setq interprogram-paste-function 'ns-get-pasteboard)
Came across this while Googling for a solution to this problem. What I found to work is part of the Spacemacs FAQ:
(fset 'evil-visual-update-x-selection 'ignore)
M-: (setq mouse-drag-copy-region t)andM-: (setq mouse-drag-copy-region nil)using version 24.4 from emacsformacosx.commouse.el?mouse-drag-copy-regionis nil? I think the OP is perhaps using an emacs compiled for X11. He might want to switch to the nextstep version, found on the site you linked. Or useconfigure --with-nsif he is building from source.init.eland any packages?
