Meanwhile, here's a kludge, if one just needs any non-primary clipboard that doesn't interfere with the main clipboard. The terminal window util byobu provides that, but only between byobu windows, and at the cost of more keystrokes: (Alt-pgup-->arrow to 1st char of selection--> spacebar --> arrow to last char of selection --> Enter). | |

| May 1, 2016 at 20:11 | comment | added | user2730066 | This is something I made. It makes your clipboard content accessible to others on the network. But the usual ctrl+c makes the list messy and useless. I want only certain selections to be made public and I want the user to choose those selections. Now, if just copy the primary selection to secondary selection, the list still gets the usual useless text from ctrl+c. So, what I am looking for is a <combo> which when pressed, activates the SECONDARY Selection and the user's public list gets updated with only those selections. | |

| May 1, 2016 at 19:20 | comment | added | user2730066 | Actually no. I don't want the primary content to be just copied to secondary. I am in need of a clipboard which isn't often used or isn't disturbed with normal copy/paste keys. Hence, I think that a keyboard shortcut to copy to the SECONDARY selection would solve the problem. If there is any other way to achieve the same goal without manually adding shortcut keys then I would be very pleased to hear that. | |
