Hi, So this is my latest attempt at trying to get copy and paste working in vim. When I'm using cygwin on my local machine, no problem, I can pipe the text to copy to the clipboard. If I can get xclip installed, I can do the same thing on a Linux box. The problem however is when I ssh into a machine where I don't have the ability to install xclip or xsel. There's a patch for putty which allows you to echo text to the printer, which is hooked up to the Windows clipboard. It works fine from a bash console, but within vim, the echo doesn't seem to work correctly: http://ericmason.net/2010/04/putty-ssh-windows-clipboard-integration/ How does vim handle escaped print sequences? Is there anyway to configure it so that when an echo command is executed it sends it to the 'printer'? When I called the function in the link shown above from within vim, vim just output ^[ instead of the escape sequence. It's really nice to be able to take advantage of vim's built-in method of selection in visual mode, and sometimes the graphical selection just isn't good enough (say the text to copy is more than what fits on the screen) If I could just figure out how to get copy and paste working from the machine I'm ssh'ed into to my local machine's clipboard, I hopefully won't have to spend any more time trying to figure out how to copy text from Vim elsewhere.
