Public bug reported:
As shipped, the default configuration for Vim has no way to copy text to
the clipboard in an ordinary GNOME terminal.
On upgrade to 26.04, the default Vim configuration now has changed to
`mouse=a`. This means that selecting text puts vim into visual mode.
The terminal doesn't know about the selection and so doesn't copy the
selected text, either into the mouse clipboard or (with a shortcut such
as Ctrl+Shift+C) into the system clipboard. Ordinarily you could yank
the selected text into the clipboard with `"*yy` - but the version of
vim shipped by default is compiled without clipboard support.
This is relatively easy to work around by changing the default
configuration, but it's not a good way to ship the package by default.
