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 :)
- ShamelessC 4y agoI 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 .
- u801e 4y agoNot 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).
