Re: yank and put not vmapping in debian stretch

Tony,

Here is (I hope) the presentation which you have requested.

Here is output of 'version':

:version
VIM - Vi IMproved 8.0 (2016 Sep 12, compiled Sep 30 2017 18:21:38)
Included patches: 1-197, 322, 377-378, 550, 703, 706-707
Modified by pkg-vim-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Compiled by pkg-vim-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org
Huge version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):

Here is my procedure for mapping "+y:

1. enter ':vmap <c-i> "+y<cr>' (to map the visual mode yank)

2. in blank screen, hit 'i' key (for insert mode)

3. enter 'now is the time<cr>'.

4. hit <esc> key

5. hit 'v' key (for visual mode)

6. hit 'k' key to select the text

7. do <c-i> ( actual result is that editor stays in visual mode;
expected that it would return to normal mode)

8. hit 'v' key to exit visual mode

9. hit 'j' key to move to next line

10. hit 'p' key to put the selected text (actual result is no change;
expected that editor would put 'now is the time' in the document)

Thanks again for your help,

Tom Arnall
