I don't understand. Can you elaborate? Copying to and pasting from the mac clipboard works fine. The normal `p` and `y` commands in vim don't use the system clipboard, you have to use the "system clipboard" register *: "*p to paste, "*y to copy to it. All vims on the mac I use have "*p mapped to <D-v> (that's command-v, the usual paste shortcut) and "*y to <D-c> (the usual copy). I always use the gui versions, though. It also works with unicode characters -- I just copied some international characters from Mail.app to MacVim, worked without problems. > Since I now have some kind of understanding of the concepts > involved, I > wondered whether it would be easy for me to contribute by adding the > functionality to Vim--perhaps even to be available only when > 'encoding=utf8', which would be better than nothing! Well, if I understand you correctly, this already does work. I didn't test with a different encoding, I don't see a reason for not using enc=utf-8 ;-) Bye, Nico --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
