Sorry, but I have no knowledge of easy mode. I tried 'vim -y'. When I held down Shift and used the down arrow to select some lines, the Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V worked perfectly. That is, I could paste the lines into the same Vim session, and into a different application, with no extra blank lines occurring. I realise that answer is even more frustrating than my previous effort ... I'm not trying to be difficult but I don't recall any discussion of easy mode here in more than a couple of years. It might help if you mentioned your operating system, and version of Vim. Also, what do you Ctrl-V paste into (I infer it's the same Vim session). I know you said you have no vimrc, but it might be worth trying the following command to start (no startup files): vim -u NONE -y John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
