Usually terminal emulators remove the highlight when it is not valid anymore. X sends a SelectionClear event in this situation, so we only have to add a callback which unhighlight the selectin box. --- st.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) Diffstat: M st.c | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) --- DIR diff --git a/st.c b/st.c @@ -311,6 +311,7 @@ static void brelease(XEvent *); static void bpress(XEvent *); static void bmotion(XEvent *); static void selnotify(XEvent *); +static void selclear(XEvent *); static void selrequest(XEvent *); static void selinit(void); @@ -336,6 +337,7 @@ static void (*handler[LASTEvent])(XEvent *) = { [MotionNotify] = bmotion, [ButtonPress] = bpress, [ButtonRelease] = brelease, + [SelectionClear] = selclear, [SelectionNotify] = selnotify, [SelectionRequest] = selrequest, }; @@ -612,6 +614,13 @@ selpaste() { XConvertSelection(xw.dpy, XA_PRIMARY, sel.xtarget, XA_PRIMARY, xw.win, CurrentTime); } +void selclear(XEvent *e) { + if(sel.bx == -1) + return; + sel.bx = -1; + tsetdirt(sel.b.y, sel.e.y); +} + void selrequest(XEvent *e) { XSelectionRequestEvent *xsre;
