thanks.
I means the "+" and "*" register..
It looks both vi and vim were linked to the right target -- vim.gnome:
ping@ubuntu1404:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config vi
[sudo] password for ping:
There are 4 choices for the alternative vi (providing /usr/bin/vi).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/bin/vim.gnome 60 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/vim.basic 30 manual mode
2 /usr/bin/vim.gnome 60 manual mode
3 /usr/bin/vim.gtk 50 manual mode
4 /usr/bin/vim.tiny 10 manual mode
this is very strange -- I actually finally get it worked around, but with a
weird way that myself still does not quite get it - but it works, only
under gnu screen:
as long as I have the following .screenrc , vim *+ register works, if I
remove this .screenrc, the register gone...
without gnu screen still no register * and +
isn't it weird ???
#record log in file session-year-month-date.screen.log
logfile $HOME/temp/%t-%Y-%m%d-.screen.log
#this doesn't work as expected
log on
