Switching from vim to vim -g from inside vim
 

Hey Guys,

Could you please let me know if it's possible to switch from vim to vim -g on the same file once I have opened the file using vim ? ( apart from <ESC>:!vim -g <filename> ) ? I want to do this since it's easier to paste in vim -g using the mouse.

If it's not possible, could you please tell me how to paste from the windows clipboard to a vim ( not vim -g ) buffer on an xterm session ?

On vim -g, a simple middle click of the mouse suffices, whereas it doesn't on simple vim. Therefore I was wondering if it was possible to switch from vim to vim -g on the fly and back.

Thanks for your time,

Try "+gP (works on my copy) "+p (others claim it works) to paste... or you could just use the version you prefer every time by changing the default or making an alias (/shortcut)

Could also take a look here http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/In_line_co...stem_clipboard

simple Shift+Insert is working in my case !! try

Shift+Insert pastes partial copied text in mine, not the full text that I copy or select.

+gP works better for me.

Thanks for your help.

Glad to help :)
