(it seems to be > whichever was populated last?) What do you mean with "hosting shift"? What happens here is done by the terminal. Vim has no influence on it. There are various preferences here and the X server especially has a lot of options. Most terminals have configuration options for this. > Essentially, vim is mixing up the clipboards in a weird way which > directly is against the freedesktop clipboard specification above. I don't know that freedesktop specification, usually standards are written by a small group of people and not widely supported. It's much better to talk about what users want than some random standard that was found on the internet. The way Vim uses the X selection/cut-buffer/clipboard was tuned over many years and it is very unlikely to change, because that would upset very many users. > As such, I recommend vim disabling mouse mode everywhere, or reversing > the weird non-standard logic. > (Holding shift plates the vim clipboard instead of pasting the OS clipboard) Considering that your remarks are incorrect I won't take your recommendation. -- You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// \\\ \\\ sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
