I tried many times.My  vim is built in +chipboard
question:
1)"  ---> press shift+" ? to get " ?
2)"*y, need press at the same time?
3)how could I select the content I want to copy? can you give me a
whole process about this ?

Thanks

hi Lei,

1) juste as you would write a double quote normally. On my swiss keyboard that would be Shift + the key where I have 2, " and @.

2) press ", * and y one after the other

3) you can visually select the content you want to copy.

For example, in normal mode, if your cursor is on the line you want to copy, pressing V will visually select the line.

Vj will select the line and the following line. V} will select the line and the following lines in the paragraph.

If you want to select a word, if your cursor is on the first letter, typing vw will visually select the word.

If you have mouse support you can also select with the mouse.
