[vim/vim] Cannot use ctrl+x to cut using mswin.vim (Issue #10965)
Firestar-Reimu
Steps to reproduce
put in vimrc:
set clipboard=unnamedplus
source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/mswin.vim
open a file and ctrl+a ctrl+x
Expected behaviour
all the words of the file has been cut to clipboard and the file will go blank
But the truth is:
clipboard is empty and file has not changed
PS: ctrl+c does not work in Normal mode, only in Insert mode

You mswin cannot be activated by default in Linux. You can remap them.

STEP 1: Install either xsel or xclip with pacman.
STEP 2: Notice that you have not Vim compiled with clipboard (vim --version | grep clip). Either compile Vim with clipboard or install gVim. Because gVim has clipboard support. Also if you want to use TUI Vim you can do so. Because gVim has a command-line version too. Just run vim.
STEP 3: As far as I know mswin is not sourced/activated by default in Linux. You can either source mswin with runtime! mswin or remap them.

$VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim in their vimrc. When I source that file in
gvim on my Ubuntu 20.04 system, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V behave as
they would on Windows.

@vim-ml You are right. Ctrl+A Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V behave right. But Ctrl+X/Shift+Del do not work.

Ctrl+X and some other mappings are enabled only when the clipboard feature is available:
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/dde77a7c4d72622284dc5fb72557bde42c314fa6/runtime/mswin.vim#L26-L41
Your version result shows that the clipboard feature is disabled: -clipboard.

Can I edit mswin.vim to make it working when -clipboard and set clipboard=unnamedplus?
