Hi,
I'm still toying with this idea with the following Lisp code (no more
timer involved):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defvar primary-list nil)
(defun next-primary (name type success)
(when (and (eq name 'PRIMARY)
(not (eq type 'TARGETS))
success)
(if primary-list
(gui-set-selection 'PRIMARY (pop primary-list))
;; Remove me and clear PRIMARY
(remove-hook 'x-sent-selection-functions 'next-primary)
(gui-set-selection 'PRIMARY ""))))
(defun successively-in-primary (list)
(add-hook 'x-sent-selection-functions 'next-primary)
(gui-set-selection 'PRIMARY (car list))
(setq primary-list (cdr list)))
(defun test-me ()
(interactive)
(successively-in-primary (list "hello" "how" "are" "you?")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
As I said previously, it works with some X client (like xterm) but with
a more useful one (Firefox) I just get half of the selections.
I tried to debug this and it seems to me that it is because Firefox
issues some "PRIMARY TARGETS" requests that ends up « consuming » the
user data (I'm not sure this is what happen but this is my
interpretation of it).
Anyway, I have put the following patch in place and it solves this issue
with Firefox. Maybe Po you have an idea of what is going on here?
Thanks.
