copied!<p>There is no standard way for Vim to distinguish whether an input character was actually typed by user or generated for him/her by X from clipboard or selection buffer. That's why there is paste mode to manually switch Vim into the state when all input is not interpreted as interactively typed.</p> <p>Thus, you have two alternatives.</p> <ol> <li><p>Paste from <code>"*</code> or <code>"+</code> pseudo-buffers (that represent clipboard and X selection respectively), <em>if you are using GVim or your Vim compiled with <code>X11</code> feature (or at least <code>xterm_clipboard</code>)</em>. It's just that simple.</p></li> <li><p>In case of console Vim running in terminal, you can manually synchronize one of the buffers (for example, unnamed register <code>""</code>) with clipboard or X selection. For instance, since I use terminal Vim only, I have the following mappings in my <code>.vimrc</code> file:</p> <pre><code>nmap <silent> <leader>y :call system('xclip', @")<cr> nmap <silent> <leader>p :call XClipRead()<cr> function! XClipRead() let s = system('xclip -o') if v:shell_error return endif call setreg('"', s) endfunction </code></pre> <p>To paste X selection buffer contents using these mappings you need to type you leader key, <code>p</code>, and then an appropriate Vim paste command. If you agree to lose the opportunity of using different paste commands (such as <code>P</code>, <code>gp</code>, <code>]p</code>, etc), you can define a mapping that does both things. For example,</p> <pre><code>nmap <silent> <leader>P :call XClipRead()<cr>p </code></pre></li> </ol>
