I was just looking at this possibility. It would go well with the YankRing plugin: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1234 If someone wrote a very simple example of a Perl Vim plugin that monitors the clipboard I could probably integrate that with the YankRing history. Would this also work for the X11 clipboard? Dave
