I use Ingo Karkat's UnconditionalPaste plugin a lot, especially the
glp command when I've copied something character-wise and want to
paste it line-wise.
I've noticed on Windows, that if I copy text from some other Windows
program and attempt to paste into gvim using the glp command, I get
this error message and no pasted text.
E353: Nothing in register *
However, pasting with the "*p command works fine.
I tried to troubleshoot the problem using the command
:debug normal glp
but when single-stepping through the plugin, there was no error and
pasting worked. I finally discovered that by setting a breakpoint
at line 32 of the UnconditionalPaste#Paste function, I could use the
continue command to run the plugin to that point and also use
continue to finish running the plugin without error. If I set the
breakpoint any later in that function, I would get the error after
the first continue. If I set the breakpoint any earlier in that
function, I would get the error after the second continue.
Here is line 32 of that function:
execute 'normal! "' . l:regName . (l:count ? l:count : '') . a:1
Since this behaved like a timing problem, I inserted this command
immediately before that line.
sleep 10m
With that, the glp command works fine. That's my workaround for
now.
The vimrc I used for troubleshooting contains only this line.
set clipboard^=unnamed
I'm using Vim 8.1.1244 and UnconditionalPaste 4.20 on Windows 10.
I've had no problems using glp on Linux, neither in gvim nor in
terminal vim.
Regards,
Gary
