Hi,
I have a vim window open with a file in a terminal. I wanted to copy
some text to another terminal.
FIrst problem is my select. I hit the Ctrl+V to go into visual mode on
a line, then hitting the Shift key and moving up and down does not
select the lines below or above it.
So I select with my mouse. I usually just use my middle mouse button
to paste elsewhere but it doesn't work for things I select/copy in
vim. I tried the explicit Copy/Paste but it doesn't work.
Do I need to add a setting to my .vimrc file?
thanks
Jerin
Try using the j and k to select the lines.
You can yank to the '+' register, this is the clipboard.
E.g. "+y
Hope this helps,
