There must be a difference in behavior between nil and non-nil (or else it is not only the doc string that is problematic). That's the point. Instead of playing word games, try clarifying what this option does. What does it mean to "change" the "window system selection"? Change it how? Change it to what? From what? As I said: > See the Emacs manual, node Clipboard (presumably) for inspiration. There you will see that this option is apparently about _rotating_ the _kill ring_ (perhaps among other things?): "if you change `yank-pop-change-selection' to `t', then `M-y' saves the new yank to the clipboard." That at least is clear. Whether that is all that the option does, I do not know. If so, then its doc string should speak in terms of rotating the kill ring. If it is more complicated than that, then additional explanation is needed.

That's the point. A non-nil value changes the default behavior in the way that is documented. A nil value does not make that change, that's all.

What is a "yank"? what is a "clipboard"? And why an option is > called yank-pop-change-SELECTION when it affects the clipboard? Etc., > etc., ad nauseam. Pretty much. I added a reference to `interprogram-cut-function' to the docstring, which should clarify somewhat. Closing the bug.

Closing the bug. How does referencing `interprogram-cut-function' answer the questions? "What do nil and non-nil actually _do_? What does rotating the kill ring _do_ to "the window system selection" in each case?" etc. From unknown Fri Aug 15 19:25:58 2025 Received: (at fakecontrol) by fakecontrolmessage; To: internal_control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Debbugs Internal Request Subject: Internal Control Message-Id: bug archived.
