mailing-list for TeXmacs Users

[Giovanni Piredda <address@hidden>]

I think with help from Max and Jeroen I found out the reason: I am slow 
in pressing the w key after having pressed esc, and the keyboard is 
sending several times the esc key to TeXmacs.

I fixed this by mapping alt-w to copy (I find the default keyboard 
shortcut for the emacs look and feel awkward):

;; Map alt-w to copy in emacs look and feel
(kbd-map
  (:profile emacs)
  ("A-w" (kbd-copy)))

in my-init-texmacs.scm

I do not know if this is also why the other user cannot copy, in case 
you are curious you can check if anything is posted at 
http://forum.texmacs.cn/t/problem-with-copy-and-paste-in-math-formulas/389
