Take the tour ×  I've tried to copy text from Vim window to
somewhere but it doesn't work. Decisions which I've found with
google didn't help too. For instance, using the registers "* and
"+.  Command vim version is (Ubuntu 12.04. Vim 7.3):  vim
--version | grep clipboard -clientserver -clipboard
+cmdline_compl +cmdline_hist +cmdline_info +comments
-xterm_clipboard -xterm_save   Can you help me to solve it?
Should I use other vim version or are there any methods to copy
text from Vim to something else?  share|improve this question

be using vim-tiny.   $ vim --version | grep version  and report
back the result.  If you are using "tiny", you should install a
proper version.   $ sudo apt-get install vim-nox   $ sudo apt-
get install vim-gnome share|improve this answer I've installed
vim-gnome and now Vim supports clipbo
