I am using M9 on aix/motif and I could not get copy and paste to/from
the aix clipboard to work. Is this supposed to work?

I guess my question was not clear. On Windows I can highlight text in
an swt widget. Then do a copy (CTRL-C) and then do a paste (CTRL-V)
outside of eclipse (like in an external editor) and it works, the data I
highlighted gets copied. It also works going the other way. However,
on aix the function does not work. I suspect that it has something to
do with my key bindings and the fact that aix has its own clipboard. I
have seen other applications where this copy/paste action works and is
very useful.

So is this a function that is suppose to work in the aix/motif version?
Or do I need to implement/enable something to get it to work.

From reading a previous post I found some .Xdefaults settings that seem
to indicate that this should work. But it only seems to work with
copy/paste between widgets inside eclipse.

Here is what I added to my .Xdefaults

! Motif fixes for cut and paste
*XmText.translations: #override\n\
Ctrl<Key>c: copy-clipboard()\n\
Ctrl<Key>v: paste-clipboard()\n\
Ctrl<Key>x: cut-clipboard()\n
*XmTextField.translations: #override\n\
Ctrl<Key>c: copy-clipboard()\n\
Ctrl<Key>v: paste-clipboard()\n\
Ctrl<Key>x: cut-clipboard()\n

It should just work. Have you tried CTRL+Insert and SHIFT+Insert?

Please give exact steps of what you are doing including which application
you are pasting into.

with CTRL+c and CTRL+v (or CTRL+Insert and SHIFT+insert) I can copy and
paste inside the eclipse application. What I would like to be able to
do is to copy from something in eclipse and paste it to an external
program, aixterm in my case. For aixterm the past from the clipboard
is done by pressing the middle mouse button. However the copy done
inside eclipse does not put the data on that clipboard so that it can be
pasted in aixterm.

That is correct.

Not implemented in Eclipse 3.0.

Note that SHIFT+Insert and CTRL+Insert also work in an aixterm. The middle
mouse button pastes the selection clipboard contents and SHIFT+Insert pastes
the primary clipboard contents - the clipboard supported by SWT. I just
tested this on our AIX machine to make sure I was not lying and it worked
for me.
