In addition to the other suggestions, you can also open multiple files in in vi(1), copy and paste with vi(1) commands, and switch files with ex(1) commands in between. For example: schwarze@isnote $ cat test1.txt text in test1 schwarze@isnote $ cat test2.txt text in test2 schwarze@isnote $ vi test[12].txt Inside vi(1), i now typed: yy # to copy the current line into the yank buffer :n # to switch to the next file p # to paste the yank buffer :wq # to save and exit from vi(1) The result is: schwarze@isnote $ cat test2.txt text in test2 text in test1 There is more than one way to get your work done efficiently. When using the X11 clipboard as described by Marcus, be wary about its bad habit to turn tabs into spaces, so don't do that when copying source code or patches. Yours, Ingo
