Vim copy/paste #131

Closed HaraldWeber closed 4 years ago

HaraldWeber commented 5 years ago

Whith this option in .vimrc I can copy/paste between windows and wsl when i start vim from a wsl terminal.

" make yank copy to the global system clipboard (windows)
set clipboard=unnamed

But I cant when I start vim from vim.exe. What is the difference between the two start up methods? Is there a workaround or fix available?

Hi, probably it's too late for an answer. I took over this recently. The difference is that for vim.exe / emacs.exe etc the shell is not started with --login.

I haven't considered this scenario. I will think about it, maybe it makes sense to have -l also for this situation.
