(I’ll note the version number next time I’m in the office.)įor the record, at home, where the * register works great, I’m running Vim 7.4.488 in the Terminal. There is a chance that the version of Vim that shipped with the computer does not support the feature in which the * register is connected to the system clipboard. On my work computer I’ve been having some trouble getting the 2015 MacBook Pro’s Terminal Vim to access the system clipboard.
