Well, this doesn't answer the question I asked earlier about using visual mode to copy and paste. But if you use xclip to copy, and ctrl+shift+v to paste, then setting mouse=a, you can get all the functionality you want. It does take some getting used to probably, since you can't use the middle mouse button to paste. If you can find a way to copy that's not as messy as putting this in your .vimrc, please let me know: vmap <C-c> :<Esc>`>a<CR><Esc>mx`<i<CR><Esc>my'xk$v'y!xclip -selection c<CR>u
