System Yank Register in Vim+URxvt Without Mouse [SOLVED]

As I understand it, to use the system clipboard you have the choice of the selection or the cut buffer that are accessed through vim's * and + registers.
But as far as I can tell, this feature doesn't work with the vim from the repository. Older threads refer to it as working but I cannot get it to work, and I suspect vim was built without support for X.
There is of course the workaround to do a Shift-LMB drag which bypasses vim and has the intended effect, but this impractical when you don't have a mouse.
So how can I get the * and + registers working? If they were disabled, why? Or am I just being stupid?
Advice is greatly appreciated.

Yeah, I just did. I was worried that it would be too heavy or whatever but it seems fine, and copy and paste works. And back when I was in Ubuntu I stilled used GVim so I am okay with it.

  • Vim - copy to clipboard without mouse and paste to other application

    I can copy & paste in editor vim.. andI know copying with mouse.. how to set vim to select all lines and copy them without mouse and paste it to other application like leafpad with Ctrl+V or with "paste" in options? it is possible in vim?

    Parecelite etc. isn't needed for that...
    You have the choise of using either primary selection or clipboard...
    For primary selection, you use vim's visual mode to mark text(not yank it, just mark), and then in whatever other app paste primary selection with 'shift+ins'.
    For clipboard, you need e.g. the gvim package from the arch repo's, which includes a vim with clipboard support enabled, and then you mark the text and then copy it to clipboard with '"+y', that is 'double-quote+plus+y' and then paste in whatever clipboard capable app with ussually ctrl+v.
    Finally, you can configure vim to always yank to clipboard(in addition to primary-selection), so you can mark text, press y, and then ctrl+v in whatever clipboard capable app afterwards; to do that add 'set clipboard=unnamedplus' to your .vimrc. (note, vim clears whatever it self has placed in the clipboard whenever quiting vim, so keep vim open after you have copied from it and untill after you've pasted from it...)
    Edit: Beaten by kniren for some of the info
    Edit2: Using Primary selection with x11 apps also needs either vim from the gvim package, or a custom built one...

  • Installing solaris 9 without mouse?

    Hello. I have an old ultrasparc U2 kit with dual 333MHz processor. When I obtain this kit it has Linux installed. There is also a sun mouse that looks square and has 3 buttons, but the mouse is very very old (probably more then 7 years old) and extremely difficlut to use, thus I use a new serial mouse and though away the sun mouse.
    Later I decide to install solaris 10, failed to start (reason: OBP version too low) I try to install solaris 9. After the first install CD finished, a small 'solaris' system is said to be installed on hdd and system rebooted to go on installation. After reboot, CDE start and the box ask my hostname, and I cannot go on any more.
    Because I don't have mouse, I cannot click 'Next'. I can jump to the textfield (by TAB) where I can enter hostname, and I can never jump out of textfield. Press TAB, Enter, space... none of them works. It seems CDE is not like typical Gnome or Windows that you could switch focus by press tab repeatedly.
    If there is no way to click 'Next', then I would have to pick up Linux again, which is a trouble for me (for lack of good JRE and Flash player). It's very difficult for me to buy another sun mouse. Any suggestions?

    Now I got a bit further. I upgraded OBP by using solaris 9 software CD1, without mouse. Now I have OBP that is compatible with solaris 10
    I begin to install solaris 10, the same result: I cannot use mouse to move focus to the first dialog about what language I prefer to use.
    it's soo much trouble to work with ultra-sparc ----- every thing are non-standard...

    The only way to purchase from the iTunes Store is via iTunes, on a computer or iOS device, and it will automatically download your purchase immediately. You have a couple of options: you can go ahead and purchase on another computer that has iTunes and then just copy the purchases to your Vista system (via any normal means of file transfer), or if you're in the US, the new iTunes in the Cloud feature, currently in beta and so not completely reliable, would allow you to download the purchases again at some future time when you get your iTunes problems sorted out. I'd recommend the first option as the best solution for now (and the only solution if you're not in the US).

  • Any option to invoke OCR tool from a keyboard only without mouse

    As surprising as it may sound, I could not find any option to run from keyboard a command to start OCR (Optical character recognition) operation for the current document.
    Many (actually the most) in operations commands Adobe Acrobat Professional XI can be run with a keyboard hotkey (shortcut) and/or via main menu accelerator keys, say, as a command "Create PDF from file" with a hotkey Ctrl+N or keyboard accelerators Alt+F -> R -> F.
    So if you your mouse fails to work or you can not use a mouse due to some accessibility issues, you can however run the most commands using the keyboard only.
    But I could not find any way to start OCR recogniizing operation using keyboard only, neverthless how long serie of key pressing you are ready to fulfill. Well, you can use accelerators Alt+V(iew) -> T(ools) -> T(ext Recognition) in order to open Tools sidebar at the left edge of the window - and than?.. Seems, that there is no option to get a focus to this vertical toolbar without mouse.
    As I can not use my mouse just now, it is a real headache for me Is there any solution?
    Thanks in advance!

    @ CtDave
    I'm afraid, that you have missed the most important part of my clarification. Your advice will not help, if somebody (not necessarily you, but rather the previous owner of the document) has already recognized it - but only in some part. Say, the command/hotkey Ctrl+A will not help, if the document has only 1 recognized page from 100 pages, what is a quite probable situation.
    Ctrl+A will not help too, if the document is already recognized, but with wrong charset and/or output style and/or resolution - and you need to re-OCR it with correct settings.
    I do not see, how your additional explanations of which OCR settings are correct, could help in such situation.
    So Ctrl+A (Select all) command is a workaround for some very restricted situations.
    To have a consistent OCR workflow simply set the PDF Output Style to Searchable Image (Exact).
    Usually I prefer the option [Searchable Image]. Do you think, that [Exact] is generally better?
    There is no user configuration/choice of 'charset' consequently this is not a viable concern.
    Hm... Have you ever put attention to the dialog Recognize Text, including the very 1st line in the [Settings] field, that is [Primary OCR Language]. And the the button [Edit...] with the proper language settings as well (please look at my screenshot here: http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/9172/k56.gif
    As one can suggest, when you select the primary OCR language, it also involves the charset too, because, say, English, French and China languages charsets are quite different.

    uzbl is great, you should try it out (yaourt -S uzbl-git).  Lightweight, renders flawlessly, and keyboard controlled (although you can use the mouse too if you want).  No flash player required, and I imagine if a text browser is an option (it isn't for me) then you must be willing to put up with broken support for opening new windows via Javascript.

    Jeff,
    after trying to find, and use screen shot, i tried to access reader
    downloader... instead, found an offline version of reader. after
    installation started getting false reports that appeared as avg pop-ups.
    Within task manager, was able to detect virus / worm running 6 - 8
    services. immediately disconnected my 'net connection. closed all active
    services being run by rogue process. determined it was using two files
    named "lastalive0.dat" and"lastalive1.dat" to determine it's own status...
    upon stopping it's services it controlled, it would soft re-boot to
    resurrect another hijack attempt. tried workaround using secondary boot
    (win 7) to no avail. after two days, i transferred personal data to
    removable media and am in process of installing debian version of linux.
    i thank you for reply and apologize for my tardy response, it was my first
    forum experience
