I don't think the absence of support for the clipboard shows up as
an error; it just shows up as a "no" after some configure check.

Before building vim for the first time on a machine running Ubuntu,
I run this:

$ sudo apt-get build-dep vim-gtk3

How do I build vim with clipboard support.

I'm building with the huge set of features.

I cannot see any option related when running configure --help.
Then I don't see any error regarding clipboard when configuring or building.

I'm also using --with-x, and installed the related libraries, as it seemed to solve the problem for some people, but not for me.

I'm building in Ubuntu 23.10.

This is my configuration:

./configure --prefix=/home/nacho/.local \
            --with-features=huge \
            --enable-pythoninterp \
            --enable-python3interp \
            --enable-libsodium=yes \
            --enable-luainterp=yes \
            --enable-largefile \
            --with-x

Thank you.

Not to mention that "editor state" specific are just not available

Re: Why vimscript instead of another language? A philosophical or a technical question?

There are some specific advantages. Regex handling, for example, as done in Python of Lua is not so suitable to the needs of an editor. You'll end up with many backslashes. Vim script gives you additional tools and implements regex optimally for editor users.

On a different note, learn vim9 script instead of legacy script. It looks familiar if you are from python or javascript, easy to read, compiled and very responsive. Does not make sense to use Python anymore inside Vim. Python has great standard library but most things can be implemented inside vim9 script without much fuss.

Hello,

I am just curious about it. I have just been experimenting with it, and it is possible to send the selected range of lines, or even the entire buffer, to an external script. Right? In my case, in python. 

I find python, or even bash, to be more readable and friendly than vimscript. 

What would be the advantage of keeping using vimscript instead of writing plugins in your favourite language? What am I missing?

Cheers,

Jose

Re: Vim-Dev Google Groups List is blocked

Remember the good old days when the vim list was sent out using mutt, which uses vim as the text generator? I think it was hosted at vim.org.

Hi,

As usual, there is no personal contact given and they just mention I can
pursue my legal claims in court :(

Currently it is still possible to view the list, when you are logged in,
but at least publicly the archive seems no longer available. Let's hope
this list here still remains active for a while.

So if anybody has any contacts to the Google Groups team, please contact
me off-list and that would be very much appreciated. Otherwise we may
have to think about moving the lists to a different hoster. I have no
idea if there still exists alternatives to Google nowadays.

Not enough that they keep blocking my mails for spam reasons :/

Thanks,
Christian
