Thank you for your reply, Tony. I didn't mean to imply that the mouse doesn't work beautifully, it does and I'm constantly amazed by the power of Vim.
Having tinkered with this for a couple hours, and read what I can find in the manual, I think the problem is that when 'set mouse=' there are two different things that can be called the "selection": you can select using the Vim commands (eg vw) or using the mouse (eg double-left-click). When you hit command-C MacVim will copy the Vim-command-selection to the system clipboard but not the mouse-selection (presumably the same with gvim and control-C in Windows and X) I tried unmapping command-C, hoping that would let the system process it, but MacVim still processes it (eg in insert, control-v command-c then results in the text "<D-c>") p.s. For completeness, I tested with no .vimrc with the same results. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
