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

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

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?

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

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?
