Remoting, emacs, and copy-pasting
Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 1:44 pm
Is there a solution that gives the best of all worlds for copying text from emacs on a remote server and pasting it to other apps on my local machine?
Here is what I am trying to do. On my local machine, I ssh to a remote server with -X -Y. The remote xcalc shows its pretty graphics. "emacs" shows up graphically, but it is super slow. "emacs -nw" runs very quickly and is nice to edit in, but emacs now does not know anything about X, so I cannot copy text to the X clipboard.
I want to run emacs in the console mode but still give it access to X. How do I do this?
