Hi all,
In gVim (at least my version, which uses GTK), you can select text in
the status line, but how can you copy it? Or maybe you can't?
Cheers,
Albert.

See :help c_CTRL-Y. It works anywhere I suspect, at least in the gui.

wholly inside one split-window (e.g. including status line(s) and/or
the command-line). This is possible in gvim; in some terminals the
terminal will preempt mouse drags and not pass them to Vim: if your
terminal is of that kind you will have to either copy the selection
the way it is done in that particular terminal, or else switch to
gvim, where Ctrl+Y copies the modeless selection (if there is one) to
the clipboard.
Best regards,
Tony.
