[vim/vim] mouse=a, middle clic pasting not working (#1388)
eoli3n
I used mouse=r for a while with set=nu.
To copy paste, it needed me to ctrl+[mouse selection] and manually exclude linenumbers.
mouse=r selecting
CTRL+[mouse=r selecting]
I discovered mouse=a, which allows me to place cursor with mouse, i love that feature.
It automatically exclude line numbers while selecting, and detect end of line, prevent to paste unusefull white space.
But with that mode, middle clic pasting in another term doesn't work.

This is because there are several clipboards (Xorg managed). Most things use the application clipboard, whilst the terminal is likely to be using the primary clipboard. mouse=r uses your terminal to perform the copying (and the terminal will use the same clipboard for copying and pasting), mouse=a uses Vim to perform the clipboard allocation.
Since middle click pasting is a terminal feature, and your terminal is likely to be using the primary clipboard you can tell Vim to yank the text directly into that clipboard.
"*y " (yanks into primary clipboard)
"+y " (yanks into application clipboard)
This is on *nix. On MS Windows it may get more hairy.
Also, the github is really for code issues. This should be closed.

Closed #1388.

Thx, but what should i do with that ?
Kazunobu Kuriyama
Your vim --version gave you -clipboard. But if you want to have Vim use the system clipboard, it must be +clipboard. Maybe, asking the distributor of your distro whether or not they have a clipboard enabled Vim is a first step?
eoli3n
You're right, compiling vim with clipboard worked well (--with-features=huge). But not a good workaround as far as debian and archlinux distro packages are defaultly not using it. But thx for the tip
Christian Brabandt
debian does provide various flavors with vim, some of which do include clipboard feature (e.g. the huge and gui enabled vims). And I am pretty sure, Arch does as well. Also please ask user questions on the vim-use ml. thanks
Michal Grochmal
@eoli3n - That's a key combination:
"- selects a buffer*- is the Vim buffer mapped to the primary clipboard+- is the mapping to the application clipboardy- performs the yank, into the selected buffer
The rest is a comment.
Btw, Arch has the vim package which is meant for headless servers. It is almost the equivalent of Debian's vim-tiny, and is often used on embedded systems. The gvim Arch package is meant to be used on a desktop, it does contain both Vim and GVim.

thx a lot, didn't know that :)
