I have access two machines (say primary, secondary)

1) I log in into primary
2) open two konsoles on primary
3) From one of the konsoles, ssh into secondary
4) open a file in vim on secondary
5) select something in this vim session with mouse
6) go to the second konsole on primary
7) pasting the selected text with middle click does not work

However the following works
1) I log in into primary
2) open two konsoles on primary
3) From one of the konsoles, ssh into secondary
4) select something on this screen with mouse
5) go to the second konsole on primary
7) pasting the selected text with middle click works.

So the problem seems to be coming from pasting from a vim session.

primary is running Debian Etch, KDE 3.5.5
secondary is running CentOS release 5.2

On the secondary machine, I have "set mouse=a" in the .vimrc

Any idea on where I should start debugging?

thanks
raju

Hi,

I hope you are pasting the line in the secondary konsole in 'Insert'
mode of VIM.

Kurian Mathew Thayil.

In the second konsole, I have not opened opened any vim sessions. There, I
am trying to paste at the konsole prompt.

:h mouse

Specifically, what is the output of:

:set mouse

Maybe you need to hold down the shift key while marking with the mouse?

Holding the shift key while marking with the mouse worked. Thanks for the
tip.
