Problems with Clipboard History and selections

[Justin Gordon]

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
