babun: copy/paste from windows clipboard into vim?

Question

right-clicking while at the prompt dumps the contents of the clipboard into the shell, but in vim it just switches to VISUAL mode and does nothing. How do I workaround this?

Answer 1

While in vim, try tu use shift + Mouse right click

Answer 2

Running the following command worked for me. Essentially just adding to your vimrc.

echo "set mouse-=a" >> ~/.vimrc

Answer 3

Adding to the various other solutions: if you're getting the --visual-- mode when right-clicking into vim (babun) when trying to paste from the clipboard, you may try to paste by using the following (in "esc" edit mode): "*p

That is: keep holding shift down to type double-quote (") followed by *, then type a lower-case p
