I have a Debian 7.0 with gnome, and I am fully satisfied with the standard vim version installed on it, except for the lack of +clipboard and/or +xterm_clipboard.
I got the sources using mercurial, but I cannot find a way to enable just those.
I have read this answer or that question. But I don't want to install a full GUI version. It seems overkill to me that I should add all those options just to enable one feature.
Is there a nice way to do it, or should I dive into the code (probably starting from feature.h), to hopefully get what I want..?
+clipboard
on Debian. I don't have a Debian system available, but when I wrote this people pointed out that installing thevim-gtk
orvim-gnome
package should do the trick. The only extra dependency you have forvim-gtk
will be gtk2 (which you probably already have on most systems anyway). IMHO, the ability to upgrade easily is a lot less effort than installing a few extra dependencies. – Martin Tournoij May 20 '15 at 13:56--tiny
(almost no features) and--huge
(all features), and didn't really notice a significant increase in memory or system usage. The tests very very basic, but unless you're noticing performance problems I wouldn't worry about it. – Martin Tournoij May 20 '15 at 14:03
