Any way to re-map the copy/paste key strokes ?

[netllama-foundry]

I've been a huge fan of xnedit for a long time, using it on a variety of Linux systems (plus the original nedit on IRIX way back in the 90s!). My $DAYJOB is forcing me to use a Mac, and its been a rough transition to say the least. I installed XQuartz (via brew) and then built xnedit. There are some odd quirks, but for the most part, it works well.

The one big issue is that the default copy & paste key strokes that seem to be hard coded into xnedit (control-C & control-V) are not the MacOS defaults. I hacked up a way to get mouse middle button pasting working, but its basically emulating the MacOS CMD-C and CMD-V keys). However, that doesn't work in xnedit, and instead I end up inserting the letter v every time I hit the middle mouse button (wanting to paste). Is there any way to re-map copy & paste in xnedit to use CMD-C & CMD-V instead on MacOS ?

Probably the easierst way is to change the mapping in the source code. In The file source/text.c 427+428

"Ctrl~Alt~Meta<KeyPress>v: paste_clipboard()\n"
"Ctrl~Alt~Meta<KeyPress>c: copy_clipboard()\n"

Replace it with

"Meta~Ctrl~Alt<KeyPress>v: paste_clipboard()\n"
"Meta~Ctrl~Alt<KeyPress>c: copy_clipboard()\n"

Maybe I can add a compile option that includes macos specific key mappings.

Update: removed previous wrong answer

Thanks for the fast reply! The change to text.c works !
