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."

(let ((buf (or buffer (current-buffer))))

(fboundp 'x-select-text)

(or (not (boundp 'ns-initialized))

(with-no-warnings ns-initialized))

(not (eq evil-visual-selection 'block)))

;; CHANGE

;; ONLY call x-select-text if x-select-enable-clipboard is true

(if x-select-enable-clipboard

(x-select-text (buffer-substring-no-properties
