The current implementation of x-select-enable-clipboard calls x-select-text for all cursor movement with a selection. This is not the behavior when using non-evil mode. Basically, emacs takes over my clipboard history unless the below patch is done. I'm on a Mac and use Alfred clipboard history. My change below in bold seems to fix this issue. 1. Is this the right thing to do? 2. Is there a contributions info page that explains how to contribute to this project. I'm familiar with github forks and pull requests. Thanks, Justin *(setq x-select-enable-clipboard nil)* (defun evil-visual-update-x-selection (&optional buffer) "Update the X selection with the current visual region."
