Hello,
I was looking for a method to send text from a vim buffer to the system
clipboard. I came across this[1].
The fedora Vim package has clipboard facility disabled:
[ankurGuest@070905042 PhD]$ vim --version | grep -i clipboard
-clientserver -clipboard +cmdline_compl +cmdline_hist +cmdline_info
+comments
-xterm_clipboard -xterm_save
Ubuntu apparently has a package vim-full where the clipboard facilities
etc. is enabled. Is there a similar package in Fedora? I'd really like
to stick to fedora packages. Is there a reason why this is turned off?
Thanks,

Hello,
Well, I went hunting, and came up with this. (problem solved btw)
gvim is compiled with the clipboard options enabled, therefore instead
of using vim, use "gvim -v filename"
then, for example, to copy the entire file to the system clipboard, go
-> gg"+yG
"+ here is the register that holds the system buffer and is what works
on gnome-terminal.
for xterm, you can use * instead of +.
Thanks,
regards,
