I use a Vim that I compiled myself; I use it in the Mac Terminal.app and using the GTK GUI. The clipboard register doesn't work. Whenever I have investigated, which agreeably hasn't been for a while, none of the specific 'Mac' versions of Vim has been suitable for me. > Like Nico says, clipboard support is in all versions of Vim on the Mac. > For instance, in MacVim.app check out the following functions in > gui_macvim.m: So this isn't in the official Vim distribution, correct? I guess it may be worth my while investigating this other distribution. Is there a particular reason that Vim doesn't compile for Mac out of the box rather than having these different distributions? > Well, if I understand you correctly, this already does work.
