Re: Question about communication with system clipboard

Hi,

Thanks for all responses. I tried with "+ register but results are still not good eg. When I close Vim (gVim) I loose information from clipboard.

Actually so far I tried on my Fedora (gVim 7.4 Huge), Ubuntu 12.04 (gVim 7.3 1-429 Huge) and Windows7 (gVim7.4) and it worked only on windows.
On windows I was able to copy to "* , close gvim and then with mouse paste information i copied to "* to my browser.

On Linux it did not work so far ( I tried with "+ and "*).

I read in pointed manual (x11-selection) that before vim is closed/suspended it should copy "+ into CUT_BUFFER0 so information is not lost.

I tried xsel application that can manipulate PRIMARY,SECONDARY,CLIPBOARD registers eg. I can look what it is stored in them and put some content there. And when I close my gVim and there I print CLIPBOARD or any other there is nothing there ,although it was expected content there when gVim was running.

I would be grateful for some more suggesstions

Regards,
Jacek
