#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'rp-transact'

rp = RpTransact.new
`wm getsel`.split(//).each do |b|
  case b
  when /[A-Z]/
    rp << "meta S-#{b}"
  when " "
    rp << "meta space"
  else
    rp << "meta \"#{b}\""
  end
end
rp.commit

This version can stuff capitals.

A keysym -> char table('colon' -> ':') is needed to support symbols.
Symbols such as '(' and '#' can also be supported, but it is keyboard-dependent.
For example `meta S-8' produces '(' in my Japanese keyboard...
