SET SELECTION GRAB SELECTION (default in DECwindows) Enables grabbing the DECwindows primary selection only when you select text. This is the default setting in the DECwindows interface. Usage notes: o This command is valid only with the DECwindows interface, not on DECterm or character-cell terminals. o The primary selection is the selection that can be shared among DECwindows applications without having to use the clipboard. In EVE, you create a primary selection by using SELECT or BOX SELECT, or by dragging or clicking M1. (A found range is never the primary selection). o When you create a primary selection in another application, EVE loses the primary selection. EVE saves the current selection and removes the highlighting from the selected text. o If SET SELECTION GRAB SELECTION is in effect, then EVE grabs the primary selection only when you select text. To restore the saved selection, press CTRL/SHIFT/SELECT. The saved selection will be restored correctly only if the current position is the same as when EVE lost the primary selection. o The alternate behavior is to grab the primary selection when you give EVE the input focus.
