Use ssh to connecting Linux, mapped shortcut keys in "mswin.vim" to operate the clipboard is not working. about vim

[chrisbra]

I reverted back the check. Please next time create a new issue

[znsoooo]

And I an already fixed this bug: 1d9f46b

Can I pull request into master?

[chrisbra]

You can create a pull request, but using the unnamed register is something very different then using the (system) wide clipboard.

Yes, so it only takes effect when the system clipboard is not available.

@clason the patch breaks gvim (vim-X11-9.1.158-1.fc39.x86_64) when running under X11 (XFCE) on Fedora Linux. The keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore.

[chrisbra]

what exactly does not work?

[ciupicri]

For example if I select some text in gvim and press Control+C , then Control+V in say Firefox the old content of the clipboard gets pasted. This means that the copy operation didn't put something new into the clipboard, i.e. it doesn't work.

On the other hand, select, right click → Copy works fine.

Please give more information.
So you are visual selecting anything and press <c-c>? What does :vnoremap <c-c> give you? What about :echo has("clipboard_working")?

If you change line 27 from:

if has("clipboard_working")

to

if has("clipboard")

Does it start working?

[ciupicri]

So you are visual selecting anything and press <c-c>?

Yes. Either with the mouse or the keyboard by pressing Shift.

What does :vnoremap <c-c> give you?

v  <C-C>       * y

What about :echo has("clipboard_working")?

If you change line 27 […] does it start working?

Yes.

P.S. Pressing Control+V outputs ^ and then vim waits for another key press.

The Paste from the right click menu works fine.

Wait what? Where does that come from? Do you have this in your runtime file? Please show the output of :verbose :vmap <c-c>

:echo has("clipboard_working")

Hm, perhaps clipboard is not yet working when sourcing mswin.vim ? Maybe this should be defered until the gui has started up?

P.S. Pressing Control+V outputs ^ and then vim waits for another key press.

That is expected. See :h i_CTRL_V (this also works similar in other modes).

Control+V used to work as on Windows (Notepad).

[chrisbra]

Ah, so this must be your patched/working version.

[ciupicri]

Yeah, with the patch proposed by you.
