Hi,

I'm using Slackware 12.1 with xfce.I use vim inside a gnome-terminal and I'm triyng to understand how to get/set some text from/to the xclipboard with a shortcut or macro in vim.

I've already try with the clipboard and guioption=a options in vim and copy the text int the + reg but it dosent work.

In general I would like to get/set the value of the clipboard trough the shell or accessing it within some kind of script/code??

How can I do it I google in the net but I don't really understand how it works.....

Can someone help me???

Thanks

If I understand correctly, you want to copy and paste to/from vim.

Simply edit /usr/share/vim/vimrc,
comment out

set mouse=a (using " comment)

"set mouse=a

That should do it on most systems.

Besides, if you don't want to touch system configuration, you can add a line to your ~/.vimrc

ok thanks
