NAME
     sel_config - selection rules for copy, cut, paste, drag  and
     drop operations

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/dt/config/sel_config


     /usr/share/gnome/sel_config


DESCRIPTION
     The sel_config file specifies how a system that  is  config-
     ured  with  Trusted Extensions behaves when a user transfers
     data between windows that have  different  labels.  Transfer
     operations  include cut-and-paste, copy-and-paste, and drag-
     and-drop. There are two  types  of  entries  in  this  file:
     automatic confirmation and automatic reply.

  Automatic Confirmation
     This type of entry specifies whether a confirmation  window,
     the selection confirmer, displays. Each entry has the form:

       relationship: confirmation




     relationship identifies the result of comparing the selected
     data's  source  and  destination  windows' labels. There are
     three allowed values:

     upgradesl           The source window's label is  less  than
                         the destination window's label.


     downgradesl         The source window's label is higher than
                         the destination window's label.


     disjointsl          The  source  and  destination   windows'
                         labels  are disjoint. Neither label dom-
                         inates the other.



     confirmation specifies whether to perform automatic  confir-
     mation. Allowed values are:

     n    Use manual confirmation, that is, display the selection
          confirmer window. This is the default.

     y    Use automatic confirmation, that is, do not display the
          selection confirmer window.


  Automatic Cancellation
     Some applications perform hidden paste  operations  to  save
     data  in  the  clipboard.  These paste operations can target
     destinations that the user is  not  authorized  to  confirm.
     Therefore,  the selection confirmer could appear to the user
     for data that the user can only  press  Cancel  to  dismiss.
     Automatic  cancellation  dismisses these intermediate selec-
     tion confirmers.


     There must be one entry of this form:

       autocancel: value




     If value is y (for yes),  then  the  intermediate  selection
     confirmers  do  not  display  to the user. If the value is n
     (for no), intermediate selection  confirmers appear, and the
     user  must  confirm  each window for the initial transaction
     to complete. The default is y.

  Automatic Reply
     A single user operation can involve several flows of  infor-
     mation  between  the  source  and  destination  windows. The
     automatic reply set of entries provides a  means  to  reduce
     the number of confirmations that are required of the user.


     There must be one entry of this form:

       autoreply: value




     If value is y (for yes), then the remaining entries  of  the
     set  are  used  as attributes for the selection data (rather
     than the actual contents) to complete the operation  without
     confirmation.  If  value  is  n (for no), then the remaining
     entries are ignored.


     Defaults can be specified for any type field that appears in
     the  Confirmer  window.  Below  are  some sample entries for
     defaults.

       replytype: TARGETS
       replytype: Pixel Sets
       replytype: LENGTH
       replytype: Type Of Monitor




     The TARGETS entry, when used, returns  the  list  of  target
     atoms  that  are  supported  by the source window. The Pixel
     Sets and Type Of Monitor entries are used for animation dur-
     ing  a  drag-and-drop  operation. The LENGTH entry specifies
     the number of bytes in the selection.
