vim @8.0.1207_0+huge+python27+python35+ruby+ruby18+x11: Clipboard support not working

[rubendibattista (Ruben Di Battista)]

Hello,

I just switched to the +x11 variants of vim port since I needed +clientserver. This variant requires xQuartz to be executing. The only problem is that I lost clipboard support. Is this something normal? If I switch back to vim @8.0.1207_0+huge+python27+python35+ruby+ruby18 the clipboard is back working ok. In theory the clipboard of xQuartz should be shared with the OSX system (I checked under Preferences > Clipboard).

I cannot reproduce the problem. My XQuartz is configured to share both PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD with the macOS pasteboard. When running vim +x11, yanks like "*yy and also "+yy all go to the macOS pasteboard, which means I can paste the yanked text using Cmd+V in another application. Could you be more specific on what does not work for you?

Hello thanks for your prompt reply,

Actually I tried again. Reactivated the +x11 variant. “+y does not copy in the system clipboard. I also have configured xQuartz with clipboard sharing for PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD. I’m on 10.12.6. If I switch back to the vim without +x11 variant, clipboard yank and paste works correctly.

I’ll try to re-install xQuartz. If you tell me what I can do to give you more details, I’ll do it with pleasure.
