hi Kevin / Paul :
yes I think this might be vim issue. or , at least vim-screen integration issue.
but being able to use vim smoothly in screen is essential for my daily work and it is a big part of my use of screen.
the steps to reproduce is quick simple:
1) c-s-5 to go to console 5
2) start screen : screen -S test
3) c-s-7 to go back X
4) screen -dR test to attach the screen
5) start vim in screen session 0 (or any other sessions)
vim
6) type "i" go into insert mode, then start to type anything there, for example:
some texts that I want to coy to editor geany
type <esc> key to leave insert mode
7) shift-v to mark the line in vim, "+y to copy it into register "+
now at this point, ":registers" command shows the texts are in "0 "" and ". register, but not even in the "+ register.
I think that's why I can't paste it to any apps in X.
and the "left button to mark and select and middle button to paste" method that usually works in X seems not work for vim, at least in my case...
its ok for other editors like nano.
I think the "left button text mark" was intercepted by vim for other usage. that said, if I disable mouse in vim(set mouse-=a), I'm ok
to achieve the same effect with that method. but again, I don't understand why vim "+ or "* register doesn't cooperatively work inside screen that started outside of X (from console in this case).
and, as what I usually did, if I start screen from inside X and start vim there (but vim won't survive accross X reboot, OK, that's another issue), with the help of these vimrc config:
if match($TERM, "screen")!=-1
set term=xterm
let g:GNU_Screen_used = 1
else
let g:GNU_Screen_used = 0
endif
or even this:
if match($TERM, "screen")!=-1
set term=xterm
endif
(see this http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/GNU_Screen_integration)
I can copy things to "+ or "* and then paste the content from these registers to X apps...
I'm not sure if plugin fakeclip that another advice I got from this alias work or not (looks most for maxOS), I haven't try it yet...
thanks.
regards

This is now just a problem with vim and not specific to screen, correct?
I don't know why any of the above is ever necessary, unless it's some sort
of workaround for the use of ttymouse. If you're setting ttymouse in vim
(or maybe someone else is setting it for you), you need to hold down a shift
key for vim to ignore mouse clicks and pass them through to the terminal.

Ping,
I'm not a vim user, so I don't know what that code is
supposed to do or how to use it. Can you provide the step by
steps to reproduce the issue. You should be able to use the
copy/paste feature of your window manager or X11. For me, I can
highlight text with the mouse and then paste it with the middle
mouse button.

hi
kevin:
I tried that and it looks good, in terms that my apps
inside screen now get retained across X reboot...but
then I find another issue that make it hard to use
this approach in practice:
it looks now I can't copy$paste between vim and other
apps, or even between vim instances I was running
inside screen...
previously I can at least achieve that with following
vim config:
if match($TERM,
"screen")!=-1
set term=xterm
let g:GNU_Screen_used = 1
else
let g:GNU_Screen_used = 0
endif
function! InScreen(command)
return g:GNU_Screen_used ? 'screen '.a:command :
a:command
endfunction
I double maybe this related to the fact that, with this
approach now screen (and all its child) is not a child of
X, so it has problem to access the X selections or
clipboards...
any idea?

hi Kevin:
thanks and that sounds exactly what my issue was.
I'll try start screen from outside of X and see if
it is ok.

Ping,
If you start screen from an X session, then
screen is a child of X. So when X dies, so does
screen. To do what you want, you would have to
start screen outside of X.
There are many ways to do this. For example,
you could start a screen session at boot time
from rc.local. Or you could just switch to a
different tty (e.g. ctrl-alt-F2) and start a new
screen session there. Then go back to X
(ctrl-alt-F7) and reattach to that screen
session.

guys:
I use screen for years and I'm happy
with it.
one thing annoyed me a lot is
everytime when i need to reload X
(it's not stable), and when I come
back and find everything in my screen
(vim, news, mutt, telnet,
ssh,...everything) also went away, the
session/windows are there though.
searching the internet I haven't got
much useful info.
people are saying they use screen to
get persistent sessions across X...how
can i archive that?
thanks!
regards
