Hi everbody,
I'm new on this list. I use vim in a terminal on ubuntu everyday and
still need some help for efficient use. If the file i'm editing is
longer than one screen and I want to paste it somewhere else (say in a
firefox textarea), I have to go out of vim, cat the file i'm editing,
select it and then paste it (with middle mouse button). I now the
visual mode, and how to highlight all (gg v G). But this operation
doesn't fill the proper buffer.
As I understand it, the register "*" represents the "systemwide
clipboard", whatever that means to the actual OS implementation. So
yanking to the register * should do the trick.
