Better vim integration?

[JonnyRa]

Hi

I've just been trying to get things setup so I can copy from vim running under tmux to the system clipboard.

Currently I'm in the position where I can copy from vim to the tmux clipboard and if I copy using 'y' I can get from tmux to the system clipboard, however the issue is that vim writing to the tmux clipboard doesn't also write to the system clipboard.

Is this a configuration issue?

within vim I'm using

https://github.com/roxma/vim-tmux-clipboard
and
'tmux-plugins/vim-tmux-focus-events'

and also tmux-yank.

I have the tmux settings set as follows:
set-clipboard external
focus-events on

I'm using gnome-terminal not xterm and would prefer to keep that.

Is this possible?

Cheers

Jonny

tmux version is 2.6. vim version 8.0

This has nothing to do with tmux-yank; so I'm closing this.

I've just swapped from a linux vm on windows I was accessing via putty to properly booting into ubuntu on a new machine.... It looks like the issue is actually with my version of vim for some reason the default one installed on ubuntu comes with -clipboard!

I'll try get hold of a better version!

Thanks for your help! I probably should have checked the simple things earlier

You were right about this, nothing to do with tmux and I didn't need any extra plugins to get it to work!

Thanks :)
