Feb 6, 2024 at 23:11 comment added Seamus Charlie, I wonder if you could settle something for me? There's been some debate re whether or not your objective was to be able to simply copy & paste - or was your objective to be able to copy and paste while using one of the mouse commands? Do you recall that far back? Thanks - I'll "owe you one" :)
Nov 8, 2023 at 8:43 comment added Attila O. @HalosGhost an example is using vim over SSH. Yanking is great for when you want to use the word in Vim itself, but what if I want to copy something to my clipboard (not the clipboard on the host where Vim is running), maybe simply to paste it into a web browser?

Jul 1, 2014 at 1:39 comment added Charlie Parker if I could just :set mouse=OFF or something like that, that would be kind of a hack (not a "real" solution), but at least I would be able to copy paste by turning the mouse=off whenever I need to copy paste...
Jul 1, 2014 at 1:38 comment added Charlie Parker well, the thing is that :set mouse=a does not work properly with the native terminal. In fact it doesn't do anything as far as I can tell (so yes, copy pasting does seem to work in the native terminal)
Jul 1, 2014 at 1:22 comment added depquid Do copying and pasting work with other terminal applications? Also, does it work with vim running in the native OS X Terminal?

Jun 28, 2014 at 12:10 comment added slm @Pinocchio - take a look here: How to make vim paste from (and copy to) system's clipboard?.
Jun 28, 2014 at 1:17 comment added Charlie Parker no it is not its just iTerm (as I mentioned on the question, but good question though).

Please, use code block formatting ❤
Jun 27, 2014 at 20:07 comment added Charlie Parker I wouldn't do that because I don't know how to do that I guess, apologize for my incompetence. I didn't even know that existed until you mentioned it. Please share your knowledge! :)

Jun 27, 2014 at 19:44 comment added HalosGhost I can tell you that vim is capable of yanking to the Primary Selection just fine using the y verb. I don't know why you wouldn't just use that.
