  Unfortunately that does not work either in the worst case. I'm not quite familiar with the details behind all this, but I have had cases where it was basically impossible to get any text into or out of a Vim session aside from saving it in the text file. I believe on Alpine OS I could get it working fine by installing some dependencies and recompiling Vim manually. Others here have suggested to install the gvim package which seems to enable proper clipboard support in every case, I will try that next time I am in that situation again.

    >on Alpine OS I could get it working fine by installing some dependencies and recompiling Vim manually maybe the mantainers of the vim package didn't use sensible build flags? vim copy-pasting usually works out-of-the-box on Debian/Ubuntu and Fedora, I avoid small and cutting-edge distributions exactly because of quirks like this

    This works for me on Redhat, CentOS, and OpenSuse. I pretty much limit myself to these distributions. Work and Home Respectively.
