Package: vim
Version: 1:6.3-071+1
Severity: normal
Hi,
there is no possibility to use the x-11 selection in vim running under
xterm. The quotestar and quoteplus registers are not available (they are
mapped to the unnamed register), thus making the simple vim X-11 cut/paste unusable.
There are only gtk- and so versions of vim which are able to do this
x-11 selection, but they are depending on a whole bunch of other
libraries (gtk).
I guess that the problem could be solved by adding some compile flags
when building the package (compile the x-11 support in).
