GVIM simple trick (Copy and paste on terminal).
Raw
gvim_trick_1.md

Using GVIM as alternative terminal. (Part I).

Copy and paste on terminal.

Copy.

  • To copy, press and hold the shift button and start to select our desired texts !

Paste

  • To paste, Press Ctrl+w followed by "* !
  • As alternative, we can make a shortcut / bind so we don't need to press Ctrl+w and "*. We can add these lines on gvim config file / .gvimrc.
:tmap <A-V> <C-w>"*
:tmap <A-v> <C-w>"*

Those lines will make Alt+v and Alt+Shift+v behave like <C-w>"* (which we use as paste shortcut).

Perhaps, we also need to add / set mouse config.

:set mouse=a
