Thanks for this, @tecosaur! I will look this over as soon as I get a chance.

@zachcurry I hope you get a chance soon :)

@zachcurry maybe around the Christmas holidays, you might have a little spare time? 👀

Hi @zachcurry 🙂 I tried sending you an email (using your git commit address) two weeks ago.

It would be great to hear if you've recieved it.

I've done a little re-implementation of the ideas here, tecosaur/emacs-everywhere.

As such, I now consider this PR redundant.

@tecosaur Note that I have another fork which uses a different clipboard mechanism that the one used here: https://github.com/psibi/emacs-everywhere

I see, you just type the contents. I'm not sure how well it would work for large buffers, but seems reasonable. With a bit of extra work, the clipboard approach is working consistently for me though.

So far I haven't had any issues. :-) But the problem I had with the old approach was:

• It interfered with my other clipboard
• It wasn't reliable at all. It never worked consistently for me.

Eitherwise, let me know if you do change the clipboard approach or make it configurable to add additional approaches. I would like to avoid relying on my fork if possible. :-)

In my rewrite, most of emacs-everywhere-finish is clipboard-related, but you could just add advice to replace that function.
Another thought, I could check the clipboard contents immediately before overwriting, and then restore the clipboard content to that original state.
Assuming you're on Linux, I'd be curious to know if you still have the reliability issues with my package, if you'd be willing to test it out and let me know that would be great :)

@tecosaur Sure, I will give it a try in a couple of days. I will open an issue in your issue tracker in case if something doesn't work. Thanks you!

I've recently pushed tecosaur/emacs-everywhere@d20adad which introduces some new defcustoms:

• emacs-everywhere-paste-command
• emacs-everywhere-copy-command
• emacs-everywhere-window-focus-command

This may be enough, and if not I'm open to a PR adding support for further customisation.

@tecosaur I gave this a try today and it doesn't seem be working in my setup. This was my session:

❯ emacsclient --eval "(emacs-everywhere)"
nil

~/Downloads via 🦀 v1.57.0
❯

As you can see that it didn't put anything in my terminal after pressing C-x 5 0. Probably I should open an github issue instead ?
