Subject: [misc-new-features 4/5] Allow org-insert-link to check the X clipboard and the Emacs kill-ring for links, as well as the stored links. This makes getting URLs into org from a browser much easier, as you don't have to paste the URL into the minibuffer to insert a link.
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 09:28:01 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1247473682-23338-5-git-send-email-ahktenzero@mohorovi.cc> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1247473682-23338-4-git-send-email-ahktenzero@mohorovi.cc>

You can customise `org-link-check-clipboards' to check either the X clipboards
or kill-ring only, or both, or none. If you have the interprogram-cut/paste
functions set, you probably only want to use the kill-ring only.
