Hi,
I use vim 7.1 with GNU screen by connecting to a development
server through putty. I am not able to copy vim text from one screen
window and paste it on the other. My vim is compiled with
+xterm_clipboard and i have done :set clipboard=unnamed. However i
cannot access the + or the * register from vim (when it runs on
terminal mode). I want to know if there is a way that i can move texts
by accessing the registers.
One easy way is if i can make sure that vim accesses the same
viminfo registers everywhere. So that in one vim i can copy it a
register ( say "a) and then i can go to the next screen and do "ap.
Is there anyway that can be accomplished?
Or another thing i can do is write the contents of a register "0 to
a dummy file whenever i want to move the contents across windows and
read whenever I so desire . So I can do ,y and it maps to writing the
contents of register 0 to a file. However i was not able to find a way
to write a register contents to a file. Any help on this is appreciated.
The third thing is to somehow access registers + and * from the
terminal vim. I couldnt make this to work.
I saw the yankring plugin. But I felt it was a bit of a overkill
considering my needs.
There are a couple ways to address this.
You may want to consider my plugin:
YankRing.vim : Maintains a history of previous yanks, changes and deletes
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1234
Which has specific support for:
Storing the capture text in a file allows the text to be shared easily
between multiple instances of Vim running in X, Windows, SSH or Screen.
HTH,
Dave
