Yikes! That seems quite brittle if you don’t mind me saying ha.

  It's worked rather well for me for the last couple of years I've been doing it. Why would you consider it brittle? I can use standard vim keybindings to copy text from the terminal to the clipboard: ctrl-w N ?some text shift-v /some other text "+y Back when I used to use screen for a terminal buffer, the process was a bit more convoluted (copying the text to a screen register, writing it out to a file and reading the file into xclip IIRC). The experience just using (g)vim has been a lot better :)

    I guess I forgot that you may work exclusively in gvim- is that correct? I use vim and love it, but I must say your workflow seems more in line with emacs .

      Not exclusively. I just use it as the terminal multiplexer and as a way to copy text to and from any program running in one of its terminal windows. The only reason I use gvim instead of vim is because the latter isn't compiled with clipboard support (in the fedora package repository).
