Re: GVIM replace from clipboard woes!

source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim
" Last change: 2017 Oct 28

if has("clipboard")
    " CTRL-X and SHIFT-Del are Cut
    vnoremap <C-X> "+x
    vnoremap <S-Del> "+x

    " CTRL-C and CTRL-Insert are Copy
    vnoremap <C-C> "+y
    vnoremap <C-Insert> "+y

    " CTRL-V and SHIFT-Insert are Paste
    map <C-V> "+gP
    map <S-Insert> "+gP

    cmap <C-V> <C-R>+
    cmap <S-Insert> <C-R>+
endif


NOTE: I created a 2nd post, when this one didn't appear for several hours. In that post, I remembered to describe the undesired behavior:

On that host, Ctrl-v pastes the entire Visual Mode selection - NOT the originally copied string!

Please, advise. Thank you.

Did you check the value of the 'clipboard' option?
