| calmar | yeah |
| klingon | Can I yank text across two different vim sessions? Say in konsole I have 2 tabs and each tab has a different file opened through vim |
| frogonwheels | you got clipboard access? |
| tecnico | I use :split or :vsplit and yank works across those |
| frogonwheels | try using register * or + |
| Chap00lin | which release is the stable latest? |
| klingon | frogonwheels, I have full axx but I doint know how to enable the clipboard |
| pmcnabb | klingon: yes, yank into "* |
| frogonwheels | klingon: "*y |
| klingon | pmcnabb, forgive my ignorance but what does the command look like? |
| pmcnabb | to copy the current line, do "*Y |
| klingon | I have 17 lines I want to copy *14yy? err *17yy? |
| frogonwheels | klingon: "*14yy close |
| pmcnabb | 17"*Y |
| klingon | ah got it |
| frogonwheels | " = register |
| pmcnabb | then to paste in the other file, do "*p |
| klingon | oh no, this isnt working.. |
| frogonwheels | try "+ |
| klingon | pmcnabb, you type that command in the prompt ? : Cause doing that just brings me to line 17 |
| pmcnabb | klingon, not at prompt... just in command mode |
| frogonwheels | it's actually yanked into the register - or tried to. then "*p in the other file |
| pmcnabb | yes. you can see your register values with :reg you should see the text in there |
| klingon | How do I clear registers |
| frogonwheels | :let @*='' one at a time. |
| mindwarp | hi, just one quick question. i'm reading the docs and trying to figure it out, but it would be helpful if anyone was able to give me a tip: how do i tell vim to word wrap at 72 columns? thanks! |
| frogonwheels | :set tw=72 |
| mindwarp | frogonwheels: thank you that won't persist, right? i assume i'd put the same thing in .vimrc to make it default? |
| frogonwheels | There are some formatoptions involved as well. mindwarp: Exactly |
| mindwarp | cool, thanks a lot |
| pmcnabb | i love how there's always more to learn about vim |
