Here is a patch for aterm-0.4.2 that I made a few days ago. It: - fixes pasting non-ASCII characters (if you copy a text from Mozilla or similar app and then paste it in an aterm window, you'll get &{5145} or smth like it instead of ISO-8895-2/any other charset specific chars) - makes it possible to copy text from an aterm window to XA_CLIPBOARD by pressing the ALT key while making a selection (if the ALT key is not pressed, the text is copied to XA_PRIMARY, as usual) - incorporates the patch from bug #29232 I think it would be nice to have it included in Portage. The non-ASCII chars pasting problem can be really annoying, and I'm sure people will find the other fixes and features useful as well :)
Created attachment 19126 [details, diff] the patch for aterm-0.4.2
I have no problem about copy&pasting from/to mozilla with aterm. This is probably because I emerged aterm with USE="cjk", so could you check it please, nakano?
It would seem so. aterm-0.4.2-ja patch makes aterm paste text as XA_COMPOUND_TEXT and not as XA_STRING. XA_STRING is fine for us-ascii, but it's not enough for other charsets. Please note that my patch will most likely not work with aterm-0.4.2-ja, so if it were to be included in the ebuild, it should be done in a one-or-the-other manner (ie. if cjk is in USE, then apply aterm-0.4.2-ja, if not - apply the other patch).
Michal, I've committed the patch from bug 29232 since it applies equally to cjk and -cjk. Would you mind removing that from your patch? Additionally it sounds like your ALT patch would be helpful for cjk/-cjk, but the non-ASCII patch is only useful for -cjk. If you would split that up so that the functionality isn't diverging so radically between cjk/-cjk, that would grease the skids to get this in finally. Thanks.
Patches added to aterm-0.4.2-r7.
