I have no clue how my system is configured, but I'm almost positive
that there's something wrong
with my vi setup.

Wow, thank you so much for that tip - You have no idea how many hours
I spent trying to get copy and paste to work. When I tried gvim -v, I
was able to access the +buffer to copy. Could you please add this to
the vim wiki, because I think it could seriously benefit a lot of
users.
Except now I have a slight problem that when I try to do shift+F4,
which I mapped to a shortcut, it prints out "2S" on the line. This
worked fine when I ran vi before, but it looks like some sort of weird
keymapping issue.
I hope the rest of the features work as expected. Does running gvim
-v require X11? I'm wondering if it will still work when I ssh into a
remote machine.
