In Gnome at least you can high-light with mouse, right click, hit copy, and go to another window, right click, and hit paste.... Is visual mode even suppose to work for this purpose? I don't think hitting v and moving left and right is suppose to dump the selected sections into the copy-paste buffer. > > > Can you copy and paste from (g)vim to another Konsole? > > Yes, no problem. > > > To any other application? > > Yes, to Leafpad, Kwrite, (Xfce) Terminal & Xterm. So basically the problem is OO then. Can you copy and paste from other applications to OO? Perhaps it is a problem with encodings? Years ago I had trouble occasionally when I try to copy and past stuff from Firefox to Vim in a rxvt terminal. Then I found out the hiccup is due to 'proper' apostrophes, commas, and en- and em-dashes. Unicode characters does not want to be pasted into a non-unicode terminal. try emerging (if you don't have it installed already) the little program 'xsel'. You can use it to manipulate the selection buffers. Try trouble shooting with it to see what the problem is. http://www.vergenet.net/~conrad/software/xsel/xsel.1x.html HTH, W -- Willie W.
