Can not paste with Shift-Insert with gvim

[Diep Pham Van]

I'm having unexpected result when press Shift-Insert to paste in gvim.
Instead of paste, gvim inserts '<S-Insert>', vim in a terminal work fine.

I'm using vim 7.4, this is my compile option:

I've already try with '-u NONE'. If I remember correctly, the
Shift-Insert paste used to work in the past.
So, any one has this problem? And how to fix it?

Your mailer's User-Agent line (Icedove 17.0.10 for linux x86_64) seems
to imply that, like me, you're on Linux; and indeed, when I hit
Shift-Insert in gvim (Huge GTK2/GNOME2 version) in Insert mode, it
inserts <S-Insert>. In Normal mode I get a beep (which I have customized
to a visual beep).

The help about this key seems to indicate that it is specific to MS-DOS
and Windows versions of Vim. You can get it back, though, with the
following mappings (untested, and this assumes Vim 7.0 or later):

noremap! <S-Insert> <C-R>+
nnoremap <S-Insert> "+gP
snoremap <S-Insert> <Esc>gvc<C-R>+
xnoremap <S-Insert> c<C-R>+<Esc>

These mappings intentionally leave you in Normal mode after using
Shift-Insert in Visual but in Insert mode after using it in Select mode.
If I didn't goof, they all leave the cursor after the inserted text.
There could be an off-by-one error in the xnoremap (Visual but not
Select) mapping. Append an l or a <Right> if it upsets you, but this
might produce an unwanted advance to the next line if you're in
blockwise- or characterwise-visual at the end of a line.

Instead of these mappings, you can of course just insert register +
(which is the clipboard) in the normal way, either with the keyboard
(using key sequences similar to the {rhs}es above) or with the "Edit →
Paste" menu.

I suppose that the fact that it still works in a terminal means that
your terminal is handling it.


Best regards,
Tony.

Maybe it's about time to press <C-r>+ more. :)

You're right.
