Prevent vim from clearing the clipboard on exit
If I copy text into the xterm clipboard from vim, it is cleared when I exit vim.
How do I prevent this?
Solution 1:
I recently solved this problem with this single line in .vimrc (requires utility xsel):
autocmd VimLeave * call system("echo -n $'" . escape(getreg(), "'") . "' | xsel -ib")
It stores current registry text to the clipboard buffer.
Solution 2:
I use xclip to do so:
autocmd VimLeave * call system("xclip -o | xclip -selection c")
