This does work. A known problem. Apparently upstream thought (and Debian maintainer followed) that it would be good idea to enable so-called 'mouse support' in vim. As a result X cutbuffer ceased to function in vim. They also enabled 'incremental search' by default too, which is annoying to say the least. It took me some time to figure a way to disable these 'innovations' systemwide, but I got it: echo let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1 >> /etc/vim/vimrc.local Reco
