Dridi, Raphael,
Sorry about the very slow response - other dramas to deal with
unfortunately . . :

Hi,
It may simply be because vim is not compiled with clipboard support on
Fedora:
$ vim --version | grep -e Features -e clipboard
Huge version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):
-clipboard +iconv +path_extra -toolbar
+eval +mouse_dec +startuptime -xterm_clipboard
After Raphael's response but before Dridi's response, I did in fact
confirm this - I ended up installing vim-X11 as well as vim-enhanced
which solved the problem. It seems like it should be an option for
.vimrc to me . .
Thanks,
Phil.
Best,
Dridi

Hi Phil,
your issue sounds somehow like a RFE for Clipman to monitor also for
some
commands from cli mode, but I do not know how difficult the
implementation
is therefore, maybe it's technically impossible. Technical background:
Vim
has its own clipboard manager in use that does not know anything about
running Xorg (or Wayland) applications, so I guess the own clipboard
of vi
as in cli mode is used. Does it work if you select text with the mouse
and
copy by help from context menu entry or the menu of the terminal
emulator
(xfce4-terminal)?
Did you check upstream for any existing issue? Otherwise, you should
file a
RFE in rhbz and as well to upstream of Clipman (the latter is the
generally
preferred way).
You could also try with GPaste (based on Gtk as well) or Qlipper (Qt
based)
as alternatives to Clipman.

Subject: Vim commands for copying to system clipboard but text does
not show up in Clipman
Message-ID: <e1c15f4923ed77da0f2408ed24e147b3@localhost>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed
People,
In Vim, these commands are supposed to copy text to the system
clipboard
- but the text does not show up in Clipman:
"+yy
"*yy
- why doesn't this work?
In fact, rather than copying the current line as above, I want to
copy
the text of a whole file which is not conveniently done by clicking
and
dragging the mouse . . but I can't even get it to work on one line .
.
Thanks,
Phil.
