The pulsing highlight is built-in, but to adapt the stuff to work with the regular pasting-aka-yanking, I had to change things up a bit.
These two parameters are then passed on to pulse-momentary-highlight-region. The evil Emacs version is easier to make pulse-to-highlight because its function parameter already define the beginning and end position of the yanked text.
#Emacs paste update
Update : Abin pointed out to me that “yanking” in vim parlance means the exact opposite – copying! What is happening in this world?! Anyway, he pointed me towards goggles.el, a package that does the same effect as the code below, and then some.
An X paste is pressing the 'center mouse button' (simulated by pressing the left and right mouse buttons together). A system paste is what you typically get from pressing C-v (or choosing 'Edit-Paste' in an application window). However, the gtk2 apps and the non-gtk2 apps aside from emacs, all seem to be able to paste this text in from each other properly. Emacs inserts the text correctly when it has been marked in kword, kate, xedit, open office writer, or any other non-gtk2 app, and barfs if the same text has been marked in mozilla, gedit, or any gtk+ 2 dialog like any of the gnome 2.4 dialogs. An Emacs paste is the command yank (usually bound to C-y). His post sadly covers only one use case: Emacs with evil-mode, which adds vim keybindings and apparently also adds a special evil-yank command in place of the regular yank. Emacs, then I can paste it correctly into any non-gtk2 app, but if I try to paste it into a gtk2 app, nothing gets pasted in. this is not a julia problem, but an emacs (utf8) problem using julia, but I was hoping someone had an answer for this. I think to get the previous behaviour on Windows, you need to leave both x-select-enable-primary and x-select-enable-clipboard at their current values, and maybe select-active-regions. In Emacs parlance, pasting is called “yanking”. Change x-select-enable-primary to t (on X only). I somehow found Abin Simon’s post about how he made pasting text in his Emacs “pulse”, aka temporarily highlight the pasted region. exited emacs, run these commands Take your pick between Bash, fish or Zsh and nano, Emacs or Vim I then copy/paste the following code block to Termux. Switch into the scratch buffer (or just to some nonexistent buffer it will be in Fundamental mode, which shouldn't do any autoindentation unless you have somehow configured it to do so), type C-SPC to start the region, paste your text, type C-w to cut it within Emacs, switch back to your original buffer, type C-y to paste.
Emacs is not perfect, but it’s definitely not some dying editor with a rotten core. The number of Emacs distros tailored for pretty much every taste keeps growing and growing. A few new Emacs blogs are born every year. Pulse to Highlight Yanked Text in Vanilla Emacs The amount of Emacs-related packages & activity on GitHub has been constantly growing for at least a decade.
