Just wondering if anyone else ran into a problem with the latest version of vim, where you can no longer paste into vim from the X clipboard.
I got so used to selecting text from anywhere and everywhere (OpenOffice, Firefox, any other X app), and pasting it straight into an open vim session with the middle mouse button. But with the 7.1.12 package it's no longer working. Keep in mind, I'm not talking about gvim, but about vim. I have urxvt windows open everywhere (w/ screen), and vim.
Anyway, the solution is to build vim yourself, and in the PKGBUILD, find where it says "--with-x=no" and change it to "--with-x=yes".
I wonder, how could I request the maintainer, Tobias Kieslich, to do this? I don't think the change hurts anything, and it has always worked this way in previous archlinux vim packages.
Suggestions?

edit: btw i can copy just fine using middle click in vim with screen & urxvt

There shouldn't be any reason to learn more editor types than emacs or vi -- mg (1)

I have the paste problem too... Just wondered before why. Please open a bug report.

I believe it is due to the "set mouse=a" line in /etc/vimrc - it was put there in the latest update. Change it to, for instance, "set mouse=v" to make it work with the clipboard again.

hold the shift key down, then do your mouse operations (like shift+right_click for paste).
the set mouse works too...but if you want mouse support..the shift key is an modifier.

im wondering why vim tries to connect to the xserver, as vim is compiled with with-x=no. But if i ssh to my machine that has no Xserver running, vim need long time for opening a file, because it tries to connect to x, so it needs to be started with vim -X.
But i dont want to do this everytime, so is there a fix?
