=== txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger [09:45] hi all === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik === _jason is now known as jrib [15:24] jrib: okay [15:24] hi wp [15:24] wp: vim /path/to/file [15:25] jrib: yes [15:25] jrib: then how do i select all? [15:25] wp: "*yG [15:25] then middle click with your mouse in your browser to paste [15:26] jrib: what does that mean?.... okay, the middle mouse button, but "ctrl + insert = copy" is true right? [15:26] no [15:27] wp: after you open vim you press the keys I am putting on the next line to copy: [15:27] "*yG [15:28] jrib: okay tried it the vim said "1407837 lines yanked" but when I wanted to paste it nothing happened [15:28] wp: how did you try to paste? [15:28] why are you pasting so many lines? [15:29] jrib: middle mouse button, and ctrl-v.... because I have not heard of another easyer way [15:31] jrib: I need all those lines in one dialog box in forefox at the same time [15:32] wp: try one line to make sure you are doing right [15:32] do this in vim: [15:32] "*yy [15:32] then try to middle click to paste [15:33] "*yy does nothing in vim, and wont copy anything [15:35] :/ [15:35] are you just trying to pastebin this file by the way? [15:35] nope [15:35] what was the problem with gedit again? [15:37] when I use it to show 1407837 lines of text my computer goes very slow... when I try to copy all the lines then my computer are on the verge of crashing and wont copy it all [15:37] it at all [15:37] ok [15:37] wp: sudo apt-get install vim [15:38] vim-tiny is apparently not able to do what we ask [15:38] Hrm? vim-tiny supports yank [15:39] how do I quit vin? [15:39] vim [15:39] However vim only yanks to the internal buffer : it doesn't propagate to other applications. [15:39] wp: :q [15:39] persia: right, we were trying to copy to the clipborad [15:41] Right, but even vim-full doesn't do that with yank. [15:42] persia: is there a good way of copy/past 1407837 lines of text into a firefox dialog? [15:42] wfm [15:42] Hrm. Odd. [15:42] done installing vim [15:42] "* corresponds to the X buffer and "+ for the ctrl-c ctrl-v one [15:42] s/buffer/register [15:42] or whatever [15:43] wp: try opening the file again then do: [15:43] wp, Try listening to jrib. If that doesn't work, either use a GUI text editor to load the text, or something like klipper, glipper, or xsel. [15:43] yeah, xsel is a good idea [15:43] "*yy [15:43] then try middle clicking in your browser. You should get the first line [15:45] i dont... i get the old clipboard... that were the name right? [15:47] wp: let's try a different way then [15:47] wp: :q to close vim [15:47] wp: install xclip [15:48] done instaling xclip [15:49] wp: then run: xclip -i /path/to/file [15:50] jrib, When you're done, if you figure out which vim script you have installed that makes it work, I'd be happy to have a pointer :) [15:51] persia: doesn't work for you either? [15:51] Nope :) [15:52] persia: vim --version | grep xterm_clipboard returns something? [15:52] with a + of course :) [15:52] Yes. [15:52] hmm, /me tries in a fresh vbox [16:12] persia: are you in gnome? Seems to work without any ~/.vim* after installing vim-gnome [16:12] jrib, Hrm. I use vim-full. Maybe that's the difference. I'll investigate a bit. Thanks. === txwikinger is now known as Guest90923 === txwikinger2 is now known as txwikinger === emma_ is now known as emma === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik
