Yes it does. Though it has some consequences. For example when there is no autoselect in clipboard setting, one cannot first `visualise` a part of text in vim, then copy something into the * register (in another app) and paste it back in vim, since the paste will be done from the unnamed register. (When autoselect is in the clipboard it is not possible anyway, since vim owns the system clipboard). I can not think about any other scenario when the unnamed and * registers differ (while unnamed is in 'clipboard'). Best regards, Marcin -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
