This is the sore point. For people who use Vim over ssh, this is not an option (ssh -X is crappy at least in my experience). OSC52 is a godsend for this, but it only works for copying not pasting (for security reasons). I've been dealing with it with ':set paste!' & <C-S-v>, but as you said, for large text that's problematic. So what I tend to do is: I send the clipboard content to a temp file over ssh and then use remote Vim's local register to copy from that temp file. It's a rare enough case that this doesn't bother me anymore (*he says through gritted teeth*). xclip -o | ssh [email protected] 'cat > tmp.txt' # from local shell # then copy content from tmp.txt to real-file.txt with Vim -- Enan -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
