At ':help :behave' we see that it sets "behavior for mouse and selection". It then shows what I believe are the precise changes (it sets certain values for four options). It has nothing to do with Ctrl-C etc. It is a long time since I have seen it, but I think that mswin makes a selection behave like in Notepad: if you select some text and type 'y', the selected text is replaced with 'y'. For proper use of Vim, I strongly recommend removing mswin and taking the trouble to learn the Vim procedures. I will add that I use the Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V mappings because that battle has been lost: I suspect that all apps written in the last ten years on Mac/Linux/Windows use those keys. I was using Konversation a while back (a Linux IRC client), and I wondered how I could copy some text. Sure enough, Ctrl-C worked. John -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
