Re: viminfo do not save registers, but clipboard still set at startup ?

On Windows, the + and * registers are synonymous: both are the
clipboard. On X11, the + register is the clipboard (used for Edit→Cut,
Edit→Copy and Edit→Paste) and the * register is the selection (on
anything but Vim, it is the latest thing you highlighted even if you
didn't use Edit→Copy; it can be pasted by <MiddleMouse>). On the macOS
non-X11 GUI, I don't know. On Unix-like systems, if you start Vim in a
console with no access to X (for instance after Ctrl-Alt-F2 on Linux)
then the + and * registers are unavailable.

Best regards,
Tony.
