Copy text outside emacs\r\n2. Switch back to emacs, delete some text \r\n3. Paste\r\nProblem is I get back the deleted text since it overwrites the clipboard. \r\n\r\nI want to just keep the two things completely separate. vim commands/emacs will deal with only the ring buffer stuff, my clipboard is untouched. That way I can setup a explicit keybinding when I actually do want to copy over something to my clipboard like with c-c (win) or s-c (mac).\r\n\r\nHow can I do this? I tried in my `.spacemacs` file:\r\n```\r\n  (setq save-interprogram-paste-before-kill t)\r\n  (setq x-select-enable-clipboard nil)\r\n```\r\n\r\nBut it's not working for me. :("}}
