L'ho studiato da solo da circa tre anni ma ho bisogno di esercitarmi a parlare e ascoltare.
After upgrading to 26.04, it seems that Vim has learned some mouse interaction. Click+drag is now equivalent to visual mode, it seems. But visual mode doesn't automatically copy the selected text to the clipboard.
In theory vim can copy to the * register, which is the middle-button clipboard. That's not ideal, because I've got nearly three decades of muscle memory invested in select-to-copy, but it'd be something. But the version of vim that's installed by default is compiled without clipboard support. So it seems there is now no way at all to copy text from vim to the clipboard.
Ideally, I could just go back to the old behaviour and not bother retraining my muscle memory. Is there a way to do it? A quick google suggested `mouse=nicr` in vimrc, but it seems that disables the mouse entirely, you can't even select text like you used to be able to.
And who on earth thought that shipping vim in a default state where copying to the clipboard is not possible was a good idea?
