I notes that vim is missing a nice feature I think that vim is compiling with xterm_clipboard option instead of +clipboard, it means that it can only interact with the clipboard using the * and + registers. These registers are not the same as the system clipboard, but they can be used to exchange data between Vim and other applications.

That means that you need to switch between Insert and visual mode to copy inside vim. Is it possible to fix this I think it nice if you can copy / paste the same way inside Vim as outside and Linux / Windows that means you just set copy and paste shortcuts in the terminal.

P.S I made this changes in my .vimrc

set clipboard=unnamedplus
set clipboard+=unnamed
vnoremap <C-c> "+y
nnoremap <C-v> "+p

But it will not fix this issue

By default the vi in the image is the busybox version, which is stripped of most functionality.

 

You can install the full-fat one using

opkg update && upkg install vim

Perform the following command:

touch ~/.vimrc

This should fix your problem. I had the same issue in Debian and the command fix my problem.

Let me know if it does, then we can update the build recipe to include this.

root@vuultimo4k:~# cat .vimrc

 

 
set clipboard=unnamedplus
set clipboard+=unnamed
vnoremap <C-c> "+y
nnoremap <C-v> "+p

I think compiling vim with xterm_clipboard option instead of +clipboard will sole this problem??

xterm_clipboard requires X11, which isn't available on the box.

Please test with an empty .vimrc
