It's true, but since vim is a bit old, copy/pasting can be a bit awkward due to having an internal clipboard with the buffer and not using the system's clipboard.
I wouldn't put that in a beginner tutorial (at least the system clipboard copying/pasting).
- Xophmeister 9y agoVim has system clipboard support with the `+` and `*` registers.
- edanm 9y agoOr even better, setting "set clipboard=unnamed" in your vimrc, which just makes it to so vim's clipboad is the system clipboard.
- Analog24 9y agoI never knew about this trick, which is pretty significant if you use tmux regularly. This just made my day!
- rstefanic 9y agoRight. But what I was saying is that, I wouldn't throw that into a beginner's tutorial right away.
