When I copy lines from one tex file, open a different one and paste
I'm not getting a proper paste. Instead it pastes what looks like an
escape sequence ^[. On testing it does paste into a filetype other
than tex, so the yank line is working, just not the paste.
What can I do to paste properly between tex files?

I've noticed that it works when using a split window, but not when closing vim and opening the second file, if that's any clue. |

Indeed I'm using Gentoo linux and the rather old vim-latex version 1.8.23.20110214. Could very well be that this is a known and fixed issue. Btw. only the "* register is affected, not the "+ one.

Hi,
I can't reproduce this behaviour. All registers ("", "*, "+) are not
affected by opening a new (g)vim session (with or without latex-suite).
I'm using my own version of latex-suite
(https://github.com/gerw/vim-latex-suite).
Regards
Gerd

This problem suddenly cropped up after a OS reinstall (and obviously a clean install of vim and the latex-suite). `a now expands to `a\alpha `b to `b\beta even the custom maps expand with the map keys ahead of the expanded text. This has obviously made vim-latex entirely useful for me and is an emergency situation since I'm having to use alternate text editor which is an unfathomable pain for me!!! Thanks in advance for the help. Quick resolution will be immensely helpful. |

The problem has been solved. It occurred because backspacing was not allowed over the start of the insert. It would appear that latex suite goes into insert then backspaces over the typed stuff and then replaces it with the new text which caused the problem since it wasn't able to delete the shortcut keys and simply added the new text causing it to appear as it did. The following line in .vimrc solved the problem set backspace=2 ________________________________ From: Rohit Patel <kn...@ya...> To: "vim...@li..." <vim...@li...> Sent: Monday, 11 March 2013 5:48 PM Subject: [Vim-latex-devel] Weird shortcut problem This problem suddenly cropped up after a OS reinstall (and obviously a clean install of vim and the latex-suite). `a now expands to `a\alpha `b to `b\beta even the custom maps expand with the map keys ahead of the expanded text.

When you yank some text in vim, it puts it in a register which gets cleared when you close vim. You can do one of two things: either open both files in the same session of vim, e.g. with split windows or tags, or prepend "* to your yanking command, so that vim puts the yanked text in a register shared with the system clipboard. For more information on this, have a look look at the relevant help page [1]. Alessandro [1] http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/gui_x11.html#x11-selection |

It's a bit strange how it works with other files without need to add "*, but at least I know how now. |

> Thanks Alessandro. It's a bit strange how it works with other files > without need to add "*, but at least I know how now. The first thing I can think of is that if you select text with your mouse in X11 it usually gets copied to the clipboard right away. Note that this works for vim (in a terminal), but not for gvim, so one possible explanation would be if you are used to edit files with vim, but edit tex files from gvim (which I do). Alessandro |

I can confirm something like this. Usually if I select some text anywhere (in any application), then open gvim, open a file, I can paste the original selection right into it. But not so with .tex-files. When those are opened, the copy-paste-buffer is overwritten with the content of the file. So when it’s a new .tex file a single empty line would be pasted. Hope this helps tracking the issue. best regards, Bodo Am Sat, 9 Feb 2013 17:19:48 +0100 schrieb Alessandro Pezzoni <ale...@la...>: | 2013/2/9 David Woodfall <da...@da...>: | > On (09/02/13 13:02), David Woodfall <da...@da...> put forth | > the proposition: | >>On (09/02/13 13:39), Alessandro Pezzoni | >><ale...@la...> put forth the proposition: | >>>> Thanks Alessandro.

I can't reproduce this here (on ArchLinux). Both "* and "+ registers are set to the current clipboard values when opening both tex and non-tex files with gvim. Does this happen with any tex file?
