Re: Making gvim use the Windows clipboard by default

I've become so accustomed to ViEmu's use of the Windows clipboard (yay!), it bothers me when gvim behaves differently.

I was skeptical of that behavior at first, but decided to try out ViEmu's default behavior, and I've decided it's what I prefer.

Anyway... gvim's behavior bothered me enough that I decided to see if it could be configured to behave the same as ViEmu. It turns out it can. The magic command is ":set clipboard=unnamed".

Re: Making gvim use the Windows clipboard by default

Heartfelt thanks for the tip, I wanted to get that behavior in vim too but was too busy to research it. I've just added it to my _vimrc and it works great smile
