I am not sure exactly what you mean. Do you mean yank from one window and put in another? Or do you mean yank a bit of text from window and another window? Also do you mean the OS's window or a window in vim? You can yank and put between windows. In a vim session just yank in one window and move to the other window and use put. If you are yanking and putting between OS windows, then you will have to use the * register. For example "*y in one vim session, then "*p in another vim session. For more information, try `:h gui_selections` If you are trying to yank pieces of text from 2 windows, then you probably want to first yank to a register such as "ay, then navigate to the other vim window and append to the a register using "Ay. (Note the capital letter appends to the letter's register whereas the lowercase letter overwrites it.) To learn more, run `:h quotea` -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
