Dear Patrick, Your comment is not clear to me. Help says: "a" options results in a word selected using "Visual" is automatically yanked to the selection register ("*). It works. With "a" suppressed, a "Visual" selected word is no longer yanked to the selection buffer ("*). It works. Now, I see no reason why, with "a" suppressed, yanking a word to the Unix Clipboard ("+) using "+yw (no selection) should also yank it to the selection register. But it is what it does.
Yes, I think like you, Jean, that it is a bug. Nothing at :help 'guiopions', :help 'clipboard', :help quotestar or :help x11-selection suggests this strange behaviour should occur. I do seem to remember reading something about it somewhere, but I can't find it now. So, I could be imagining things, or it was an old bug report I remember, or it is intended and documented somewhere.... Ben. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
