copy-selection

Arguments: window

This function retrieves text or another object from a window. It does not place anything on any clipboard. The corresponding function that does what this function does and places the object onto the lisp and Windows clipboards are copy-command.

copy-selection when called on a bitmap-pane or drawable-pane will now return a pixmap containing the contents of the window.

This function returns two values: the stream (window) from which the copy was taken and the copied object.
