Hello,
I tried reading help on clipboard, but couldn't follow it.
Here's the issue: I am using putty from Windows XP to log
into unix machines. On some unix machines, I can transfer
contents of the clipboard into vim buffer via:
:set paste
i // to go into insert mode
right-click
But on other machines, right-click results in going into
visual mode and the clipboard does not get pasted; going
back to normal mode and doing
"*p // in normal mode
does not result in the clipboard being pasted into the buffer
either. Also, on these "failing machines" the ":registers"
command does not show the contents of the clipboard in any
register.
What do I need to do to get the contents of the clipboard
pasted? Here's an example of a "failing machine":
xyz ~$ uname -a
