Copy from vim and pasting to another application
by Ghost-Order from LinuxQuestions.org on (#560HZ)
I already did my search and found 2 possible solutions that unfortunately didn't work for me.
In this video the guy solves the problem installing gvim, but when I try to do that, my terminal says to me that vim is in conflict with gvim, so I just can have either vim or gvim and I would like to continue using just vim.
This is the output:
Code:looking for conflicting packages...
:: gvim and vim are in conflict (vim-minimal). Remove vim? [y/N]I also found another possible solution in this Stack Overflow question, unfortunately the accepted answer doesn't work for me, or maybe I didn't understand well how I should do it.
From what I understood:
1- Enter in visual selection mode and select the text you want.
2- Press "
3- Press either * or +
4- Press y
Vim recognizes the " command but no the + or * command, so as soon as I press * or + vim stops the ... command chain? (sorry I don't know what word I could use here lol).
By "recognizing" I mean that near the bottom right corner vim shows the command that was typed.
PD: I use Manjaro, the vim I installed was from my distro repo.
