gvim: Easy copying into system clipboard
- by Georg Jaehnig
I am using gVim on Ubuntu 10.10. I want to copy (yank) text to the system clipboard, so that the copied text is available in other applications.
This works with "+y. But I want to have it working with y.
I have tried to map y to "+y but then yy doesn't work anymore (since it produces "+y"+y).
I have also tried
:set clipboard=unnamed
but this works only the other direction: Text in the system clipboard I can paste with p.
