To add confusion: The Fish shell accepts Ctrl-V as a paste command, as well as Shift-Ins from the keyboard. This works in Xterm and urxvt. In plain Xterm with the sh shell, only Shift-Ins works as paste. While testing and writing this down I found out that there are a lot of differences that seem to be dependent on de combination of your terminal multiplexer, your shell, and Vim. Finding the proper combinations, the output of `:registers` might be helpful to compare. //meine -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
