The yy command in vim isn't a system clipboard copy/paste... it only
works within the vim session.


That is not supposed to be the case - "*" and "+" copy to the SYSTEM clipboard:

Phil.


i.e. after doing the "+yy key combo, move the insertion cursor
somewhere else and hit "p".. it will paste the line that you were on
when you hit the copy shortcut.

People,

In Vim, these commands are supposed to copy text to the system clipboard - but the text does not show up in Clipman:

  "+yy

  "*yy

- why doesn't this work?

In fact, rather than copying the current line as above, I want to copy the text of a whole file which is not conveniently done by clicking and dragging the mouse . . but I can't even get it to work on one line . .

Thanks,

Phil.
