tshanks / .Xdefaults

Created August 14, 2011 16:57

xterm .Xdefaults for Mac OS X's awkward X11 server

	# XDarwin only shares the CLIPBOARD properly with the rest of Mac OS X
	# (the PRIMARY options don't work) and doesn't properly handle copying
	# to multiple buffers (it manages to lose one of them). We only have
	# one mouse button. For now, let's just use the good old menu option
	# selectToClipboard, even though it breaks extending with the third
	# mouse button we don't have.

	xterm*selectToClipboard: true

	# The OS X xterm doesn't set t_vb in vim, so we need to make the bells
