There should be another method in that list, perhaps 1.1:
Some Linux distributions build their terminal vim packages
without X support. This makes no sense and leaves many users
with the impression that Vim in terminal mode doesn't support
some operations such as properly pasting text with a mouse.
If your distribution includes gvim, which it almost certainly
does these days, the solutions to this include the following.
a) Start Vim as
gvim -v
b) Put this alias in your shell's configuration file, e.g.
~/.bashrc:
alias vim='gvim -v'
c) Put the following command in a file named 'vim' and put that
file in your ~/bin directory:
gvim -v "$@"
d) Link the distribution's gvim to ~/bin/vim with the following
command, which needs to be executed only once.
ln -s $(which gvim) ~/bin/vim
For c) and d), make sure that ~/bin precedes /usr/bin in your
PATH.
