how to add menubar rto vim OR copy/paste in vim without it using Menu-Edit-Copy or Paste without the menubar
by JinxsDad from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6K7N8)
In gvim (Slackware version), there is a menubar, but not in vim. How do I add that menubar in regular vim without having to build vim/gvim manually? I'm looking for something to put in ~/.vimrc.
^C and ^V don't seem to work, either, even with "map <C-c> y (from Slackexchange.com or Linuxexchage ... not sure which), referring to cut/paste to either the normal buffer or the X11 buffer But they don't work outside of the vim session in question (obviously). Nor does "+y or the put version.
I wouldn't care so much, if gvim didn't start off with a butt ugly font, where I have to set the font every time I use gvim (and no, the .vimrc settings don't work, either). It's just an added PITA just to be able to cut/paste between, say, vim (have to use gvim) and, for example, an email app.
So, to summarize, I need to use the menubar in vim just like it is in gvim. Specifically, the one from Slackware's install.
Thanks
