Im using Vim 7.3 in Ubuntu and I'm having a little problem copying to the system clipboard with the following command "+y
but I'm getting the following error: E354: Invalid register name: '+'
In my vim --version
, I see -xterm_clipboard
. The option to copy is from mouse right click is also grayed out.
What steps do I need to take to enable the copying of text from my vim to the system clipboard?

Trivial problem, sir.
which already comes pre-compiled with the +xterm_clipboard option.
On source-based distros like gentoo, you will have to compile the package with this USE flag specified.
