Marco, belatedly, I realize I should have given much more info about this than I did. From vim, I use a function to start a bash script that allows me to take a screenshot of the current area of interest, save it as a file, and generates the html <img tag code for that file.
So the only issue for me here was how to get vim to automatically read the generated img tag into the buffer I'm working in. Originally I did this through the clipboard, had my vim function wait until the clipboard content changed, at which it completed by pasting the clipboard register into the buffer. But I had the fatal idea that, with an autocommand to read the <img tag into the buffer, and rewriting my bash script in a perpetual while loop so that it would always hang waiting for me to take a screenshot, all I would ever need to do was drag the rectangle for each screenshot, everything else would be automatic. I really appreciate your help but my original clipboard method works very well and I have returned to it. I apologize for essentially wasting your time here.
