Hi, Robin Vim enables each features depending on the compiling system. On Cygwin, clipboard cannot be enabled. So, on msys2, neither. If you want to use clipboard, you need to implement it to vim. Howerver, I use a workaround on .vimrc. Writing the following lines on your vimrc, you can share clipboard between msys2 and windows. function! ClipboardYank() call writefile( split( @@, "\n" ), '/dev/clipboard' ) endfunction function! ClipboardPaste() let @@ = join( readfile( '/dev/clipboard' ), "\n" ) endfunction vnoremap <silent> y y:call ClipboardYank()<cr> vnoremap <silent> d d:call ClipboardYank()<cr> nnoremap <silent> p :call ClipboardPaste()<cr>p > 3) Arch Linux has the AUR for user-contributed packages to be found.
