'.' does not work either for me. I have something in the clipboard, start xvile and attempt to paste from register '.' I receive a similar message as for ';'. [Nothing in register .] Where as :paste-from-clipboard does work. Thank you for the response. It's not an issue for me since creating a binding, or using the defaults, for clipboard yank/put works fine. Maybe a good time to update the documentation at some point. Regards, Wayne
