The default (for X) "exclude:cons|linux" phrase in the 'clipboard' option stops the "unnamed" phrase from affecting paste with 'p':

  1. Run vim --clean
  2. Type three lines:
    alfa
    bravo
    charlie
  3. On the first line, type "*yy
  4. On the third, type yy
  5. :set clipboard+=unnamed
  6. Type p - "charlie" is pasted, "alfa" was expected
  7. :set clipboard=autoselect,unnamed,exclude:cons\|linux
  8. Type 'p - "alfa" is pasted, correctly

vim version 8.2.2466, Ubuntu 20.10, xterm and konsole.

Instead, try

:set clipboard^=unnamed

Note the last lines of ":help 'clipboard' where it says for the
"exclude:{pattern}" option/name:

The rest of the option value will be used for {pattern}, this
must be the last entry.

I looked for something like that, repeatedly, but didn't see it. Thank you.
