[arch-general] Vim clipboard option
Hi It's good to have a real vim package, but the `clipboard` option is now disabled (see `vim --version`). Is there any reason ? I use it a lot via the "+ register. Thanks
I just checked before updating; the clipboard option was disabled even before the update. 2014-08-21 5:39 GMT+00:00 Yamakaky <yamakaky@yamaworld.fr>:

I too find this disappointing. The only reason I have gvim installed is in order to use the "+ and "* registers. Manolo

The vim package only exists to avoid some dependencies. If it linked against X libraries, there wouldn't be much point in having it.

That makes sense. Thanks, Manolo

It's disabled in the vim package, but enabled in gvim. Is there any particular reason why you want the terminal-only vim to use the X clipboard? /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus As long as there are ill-defined goals, bizarre bugs, and unrealistic schedules, there will be Real Programmers willing to jump in and Solve The Problem, saving the documentation for later.

In my case, I prefer the terminal-only vim, yet need to share information with, say, libreoffice from time to time. M

So do I, so I use the "vim" command from the gvim package. No problemo! Paul

If the use case is not too advanced, just use the clipboard capabilities of your terminal emulator. :r!xsel may also be useful.
Thanks

If you already have X and a terminal emulator installed, why bother avoiding the gvim package?
