Re: Copy and paste problem

Thank you, Gary!

Using ^= instead of += is really nice tip, though my vim doesn't have any unnamedplus option for clipboard command(

I have

   set clipboard^=unnamed

and for me it "just works", but my habits and expectations may be
different from yours.  You might try this instead:

   set clipboard^=unnamedplus

which will use the + register instead of the * register.

Note that I use ^= rather than +=.  That is because the default
setting for 'clipboard' includes the 'exclude' flag and the
'exclude' flag must be the last flag in the 'clipboard' option.
Using ^= inserts the 'unnamed' or 'unnamedplus' flag at the
beginning of the 'clipboard' option.

See

   :help 'clipboard'
   :help :set^=
