[solved] Vim thing - copying from Klipper

Kardell · 2009-07-04 19:07:01

After some vim updates I was unable to paste anything from Klipper to Vim anymore.

Switching to Emacs it was not good idea, because I got stuck on different commands.
However numerous Vim's shortcuts makes me sick in this exact case, because I like it and used to it.

Under right touch button I have -- VISUAL -- marking.

Any clues?

Not sure if this is exactly related, but you can copy and paste from the system clipboard using the * register, so you can for example type "*p to paste from it, or "*y to yank into it. Quite a handy thing to remember

It realy is, I was struggling with exact commands you have mentioned. My friend - vim geek has provided me them, but I still don't get it.
I think it require your further explanation. I think something else has to be done in vim configuration to allow this, because these commands does not take things from my Klipper, just rely on its own clipboard.
