kevin, thanks for your time on that. but you forget " when you yank to register, so to yank things to X clipboard, type: "+ not just + yes I just tested your 2 more alternates out, here is the results: option 1) the export DISPLAY method works great! option 2) the ssh method also works in terms of copy&paste I have to wait and see it survives across next X restart--I think it can. and, I think this option2) also has its value given that option1 works, imaging I can create a screen from ssh remotely. starting screen from console I need to have physical access to my laptop... thanks again! I hope other screen/vim-lovers also enjoy these workarounds. regards ping On 08/02/2011 12:13 PM, Kevin Van Workum wrote: > > > On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 5:12 PM, ping <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > hi Kevin / Paul : > yes I think this might be vim issue. or , at least vim-screen integration issue. > but being able to use vim smoothly in screen is essential for my daily work and it is a big part of my use of screen. > > the steps to reproduce is quick simple: > 1) c-s-5 to go to console 5 > 2) start screen : screen -S test > 3) c-s-7 to go back X > 4) screen -dR test to attach the screen > 5) start vim in screen session 0 (or any other sessions) > vim > 6) type "i" go into insert mode, then start to type anything there, for example: > some texts that I want to coy to editor geany > type<esc> key to leave insert mode > 7) shift-v to mark the line in vim, "+y to copy it into register "+ > > now at this point, ":registers" command shows the texts are in "0 "" and ". register, but not even in the "+ register. > I think that's why I can't paste it to any apps in X. > > > This does not work for me either.
