Hi,

Just curious, what is the mechanism by which vim saves to the clipboard ?
For example if I am on a X11 system but in termnal vim and I have clipboard set to unnamed

and I highlight in visual mode some lines and then y(ank) them - does vim use OSC 52 ?
Or does it (even tho its the terminal) use X11 to update the PRIMARY ?

I will try to figure this out from the code but just wondered if anyone knew this already.

thx as always for all things vim,

Vim uses X11 even on terminal to support clipboard.

If you use Vim which is compiled without X11, you will find that the clipboard feature (in output of `:version`)

is disabled.
