Terminal version featuring VIM editing and clipboard handling capabilities
Terminal version featuring VIM editing and clipboard handling capabilities
Hello. You're using KDE Neon with Ubuntu 16.04 and vim installed by default. Unfortunately, it doesn't support clipboard operations like yank or copy. I'm checking if a version of Vim supports these features. Also, you mentioned wanting to use VIM in the terminal, so gvim isn't suitable. You considered neo-vim but aren't sure about it. The issue is that the current setup pulls files from specific locations automatically. Is that something you'd like to adjust?
If that fails, it might be due to Vim needing a feature not already installed on your system, rather than an issue with Vim itself.
I've checked everything I can. The Vim package you're using doesn't handle clipboard or xterm_clipboard. You'll need a different Vim package instead.
I resolved the issue by adding vim-gtk. I assumed my /usr/bin/vim would remain unchanged, but realized I needed gvim for +clipboard and +xterm_clipboard. Once gvim was installed, /usr/bin/vim gained those features, and you could still use it in the terminal with vim commands. Great!
