Copy/paste between rxvt and other applications (BUFFER/CLIPBOARD)

Hello fellow archers.

I have a slight problem with my rxvt and other applications copy/pasting. rxvt takes the value from the Ctrl+c and inserts it when i do a shift+insert, which is fine. Exactly how i wants actually. But i want it to work the other ways around too. When i highlight something in rxvt i want it to be pastable in e.g firefox or evolution (actually any other application that is running inside awesomewm).

I have tried different *VT100*translations: #override configs but haven't gotten it to work yet.

Any recomendations?

just highlight something in rxvt, go to your app and paste it via middle-mouse click. imo the easiest way...
