How to paste to Emacs from clipboard on OSX?

Question

This might be extraordinarily simple, but I am playing with Emacs (22.1.1) and I can\'t get it to paste text in the clipboard using Control-Y.

Answer 1

On Windows? I have M-ins bound to h-insert-x-selection, which I have defined as follows:

(defun h-insert-x-selection () (interactive)
  (insert (x-selection 'CLIPBOARD))) 
(global-set-key [(meta insert)] 'h-insert-x-selection)

On XEmacs it is different, where I have

(global-set-key  [(shift insert)] 'x-insert-selection)
