Pasting utf-8 fails #9

Closed thorstengrothe closed 6 years ago

thorstengrothe commented 7 years ago

I love this package but it fails to paste utf-8 symbols from firefox for example. This are my settings:

(x-select-enable-clipboard t)
(select-enable-clipboard t)
(set-language-environment "utf-8") 
(set-default-coding-systems 'utf-8) 
(set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8)

I always get strange symbols if I paste from clipboard manager in linux it works. How can I fix this?

Regards Thorsten

This is still an issue. Emojis for example don't copy over.

Hi! On what platform?

Can you copy the Emoji to a plain text file by another method, and then open that file in Emacs?

thorstengrothe commented 6 years ago

I'm on Linux here. I copied the first one from from this website in the attached file. I works fine and emacs shows me the correct symbol. When I try the same with simpleclip I got \u263a.

Thanks!

I was able to duplicate this on Ubuntu and enter a fix in d179b45 .

The fix is not very sophisticated. Instead of always assuming UTF8_STRING, it ought to try multiple types as in gui--selection-value-internal https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/2304bc9b9748db481ee1e5cff6f51709eb625394/lisp/select.el#L167-L181 .

Thanks for the fix.

I'm getting this on version 1.0.10. Am I doing something wrong? It pastes any non ASCII char like 'á' as something like \207 and then an annoying prompt appears so I can choose another encoding but none seems to work.

If I disable simpleclip-mode ⌘ + V gives the right result.

The following is what the prompt informs me. Is it missing something on my default coding systems? 

These default coding systems were tried to encode text
in the buffer ‘TODOs.org’:
(utf-8-emacs-unix (821 . 4194200) (854 . 4194183) (957 . 4194194)) (utf-8-unix
                                                                    (821 . 4194200) (854 . 4194183) (957 . 4194194))
However, each of them encountered characters it couldn’t encode: 
utf-8-emacs-unix cannot encode these: \230 \207 \222
utf-8-unix cannot encode these: \230 \207 \222
