$ man nvi man: No entry for nvi in the manual. It is not vi(1)'s job to copy between terminals (or emulators). You can copy to clipboard by *just* selecting text with the mouse left button. Use mouse middle button to paste to other xterm(1). Do not forget to start input mode first for vi(1). For all further prolems see ports/packages: autocutsel, xclip. For further entertainment and training enable ksh(1)'s vi mode (set -o vi) :-) (For further education read up on when vi(1) spawned and when the idea of a clipboard was invented.)
