Use ssh to connecting Linux, mapped shortcut keys in "mswin.vim" to operate the clipboard is not working. #13809

znsoooo · 2024-01-03T14:32:28Z

Steps to reproduce

Use Moba software to connect to Linux development board by ssh.
Open vim and enter ":source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim"
I can't use the Ctrl-C / Ctrl-X / Ctrl-V hotkeys for clipboard operation. But the Ctrl-Z and Ctrl-Y hotkeys is working.

Expected behaviour

Use the Ctrl-C / Ctrl-X / Ctrl-V shortcut keys for clipboard operation while I'am using "mswin.vim" script.

Version of Vim

9.1.0

Environment

Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS

And I an already fixed this bug: 1d9f46b

Can I pull request into master?

chrisbra · 2024-01-03T15:33:16Z

You can create a pull request, but using the unnamed register is something very different then using the (system) wide clipboard.

Yes, so it only takes effect when the system clipboard is not available.

@clason the patch breaks gvim (vim-X11-9.1.158-1.fc39.x86_64) when running under X11 (XFCE) on Fedora Linux. The keyboard shortcuts don't work anymore.

chrisbra · 2024-03-12T21:22:36Z

what exactly does not work?

ciupicri · 2024-03-13T01:39:52Z

For example if I select some text in gvim and press Control+C , then Control+V in say Firefox the old content of the clipboard gets pasted. This means that the copy operation didn't put something new into the clipboard, i.e. it doesn't work.

On the other hand, select, right click → Copy works fine.

$ cat ~/.vim/vimrc
source $VIMRUNTIME/mswin.vim

Please give more information.
So you are visual selecting anything and press <c-c>? What does :vnoremap <c-c> give you? What about :echo has("clipboard_working")?

If you change line 27 from:

if has("clipboard_working")

to

if has("clipboard")

Does it start working?

ciupicri · 2024-03-13T14:04:30Z

So you are visual selecting anything and press <c-c>?

Yes. Either with the mouse or the keyboard by pressing Shift.

What does :vnoremap <c-c> give you?

v  <C-C>       * y

What about :echo has("clipboard_working")?

If you change line 27 […] does it start working?

Yes.

P.S. Pressing Control+V outputs ^ and then vim waits for another key press.

The Paste from the right click menu works fine.

v * y

Wait what? Where does that come from? Do you have this in your runtime file? Please show the output of :verbose :vmap <c-c>

:echo has("clipboard_working")
1

Hm, perhaps clipboard is not yet working when sourcing mswin.vim ? Maybe this should be defered until the gui has started up?

P.S. Pressing Control+V outputs ^ and then vim waits for another key press.

That is expected. See :h i_CTRL_V (this also works similar in other modes).

chrisbra · 2024-03-13T15:33:37Z

Ah, so this must be your patched/working version.

ciupicri · 2024-03-13T15:35:00Z

Yeah, with the patch proposed by you.

Commit d9ebd46 changed the condition to check if the clipboard is available from: ``` has('clipboard') ``` to ``` has('clipboard_working') ``` Assuming that is the more accurate test because even when clipboard support is enabled at compile time it may not be actually working (e.g. if no X11 environment is available, or when working on a remote server). However it seems that condition does not evaluate to true, when the GUI has not been started up yet (and there was no X11 Connection yet possible). So let's just revert back the check to `has('clipboard')`, since that has been proven to be working well enough. related: #13809 Signed-off-by: Christian Brabandt <cb@256bit.org>

chrisbra · 2024-03-13T15:44:13Z

I reverted back the check. Please next time create a new issue
