VIm copy & paste between apps as a non-superuser

Often times Linux distributions include a vim that does not support X11 or the clipboard. If you have gvim installed, you can run gvim in text mode by running it as

gvim -v

Try that and see if that fixes the problem. If it does, and if you don't want to type gvim -v all the time, you can create an alias,

alias vim='gvim -v'

or a link, e.g.,

ln -s $(which gvim) ~/bin/vim

For that, you'll need your own ~/bin directory and that directory early in your PATH, e.g., by putting

PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH

in your ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile if ~/bin is not already in your PATH.
