Hi, Björn. I tried the 7.3b BETA branch you suggested and it worked. Excellent! Thanks! Too bad the standard Mac OS X text selection doesn't work. FYI, I tried the same thing with Emacs 22.1.1 (/usr/bin/emacs) and the standard Mac OS X text selection *does* work with it. From a Terminal command prompt I typed "emacs genesis-kjv.txt", then: C-u 70 C-x f C-x h M-x fill-region <return> (Don't type any spaces. 'C-' means hold down the Control key while pressing the key that follows. 'M-' means hold down the Meta key while pressing the key that follows. (In my Mac OS X environment, and probably the default on most others, I had to press the Escape key and let go to generate an 'M-'.) <return> means press the Return key.) After doing the above in Emacs, I selected the text using the standard Mac OS X click-and-drag method, pressed Command-C, and successfully pasted it into a Vim session in insert mode with Command-V. It would be great if this could "just work" in Vim as I would expect, but I would understand if there's an implementation reason why not. Nonetheless, I'm quite pleased with the new yank-to-clipboard feature for Mac OS X in Vim 7.3b BETA; it works well for me. Thanks! Lewis -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
