[SOLVED] urxvt awkward copy paste behavior

Ok i have set up the copy/paste method for urxvt found here - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rx … _and_Paste

I installed the script from the AUR - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=35526
and added the line to ~/.Xdefaults " and ran xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults

but for some reason i still can not copy out of urxvt and into another application (e.g. firefox, pidgin, etc)
I am able to copy from urxvt and paste back to urxvt ... I can also copy from firefox and paste to urxvt but not from urxvt to firefox ... i am puzzled.

Re: [SOLVED] urxvt awkward copy paste behavior

i just use Ctrl + Shift + C to copy from urxvt and middle mouse click to paste.

and I don't even have that AUR script that you linked to, installed. works out well for me.

I just highlight the text and then middle mouse click to paste.
