If you install gvim, you can still run "vim" in an emulator and you get

You can then "set clipboard=unnamedplus" (or just "unnamed", or not at all, depending on your preference) and go to town.
Yes, I know. But gvim pulls in ruby and lua (does that even make sense? I swear that's what pacman asks to do), and that's a bit too much for clipboard support.
I was assuming (unwarrantedly, it appears) that my profile of use of vim (in a terminal emulator, but relying on the x clipboard) was fairly standard. I stand corrected now.

Since recently, I've been using my own build of vim. I realised I could do with some convenience after all these years and set up omni-completion with supertab context for python. If you build in python3 interpreter the completion does not work, so I have to rebuild with only python2. I tried enabling X while I was at it but the yanking to clipboard did not work as far as KDE's Klipper is concerned. I use pathogen so updating vim or any of its plugins is not a concern, and thus have vim ignored in pacman. You can do the same. -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1
