Answer 1

This is not an ideal solution per se, but i figured out a way that I feel better than the previous one.

The idea is to get rid of X which causes heavy latency issues, i.e. keep only the following:

;; enable clipboard in emacs
(setq x-select-enable-clipboard t)

The results are:

1. copy/paste within Emacs is straightforward and fast.

2. copy from other apps to Emacs: Ctrl+Shift+v

3. copy from Emacs to other apps: mouse selection is now on X Selection, so right-click and copy shall copy the text into the Selection. Note that 'M-w" now won't copy anything into Selection or system clipboard.

This is again a compromise rather than a solution, but considering the fact that i copy/paste more often than inter-app operations, this is acceptable at the moment.

Still looking forward to a good solution!
