Full Discussion: Paste text into vi file?
Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Paste text into vi file? Post 302681553 by Corona688 on Friday 3rd of August 2012 02:45:38 PM

You're not using X11 at all, then. OSX's usual graphical system has nothing to do with X11.

If you needed to middle-click, I think OSX has ways to emulate that, but if you're not using X11 that's neither here nor there.

paste should be one of the options under 'edit' across the top of the screen.

NAME
quartz-wm - Aqua Window Manager for the X Window System on OS X SYNTAX
quartz-wm [ --only-proxy ] DESCRIPTION
quartz-wm is a window manager for the X Window System. It provides titlebars for X11 windows that aim to match the look and feel of native Mac OS X windows. It also contains functionality to bridge between the system pasteboard and the X server's PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD selec- tions. OPTIONS
quartz-wm accepts the following command line options: --only-proxy This option indicates that the program should not attempt to manage any of the display's screens. However the selection proxying features will still be enabled, meaning that a different window manager may be used, but cut and paste will work as if quartz-wm were running. --no-pasteboard This option indicates that the program should not manage the cut and paste proxying. This option is defaulted to on for newer X11 servers that support this functionality and off for older servers that do not. --prefs-domain <domain> This option can be used to override the domain used to read preferences from. This is useful if you want to have multiple X11.apps running at the same time. CUSTOMIZATION
quartz-wm can be customized using the defaults(1) command. quartz-wm can be forced to re-read these preferences by sending it a SIGHUP using kill(1). The available options are: defaults write org.x.X11 wm_ffm -bool true Enables focus-follows-mouse mode. Windows belonging to the X server may then be focused by moving the pointer over them, as well as the default mode of clicking in them. defaults write org.x.X11 wm_click_through -bool true Disables the default behavior of swallowing window-activating mouse events. defaults write org.x.X11 wm_limit_size -bool true Limit the size of each window to the size of the current head. defaults write org.x.x11 wm_focus_on_new_window -bool false Don't tell X11.app to take focus when a new X11 window is created. defaults write org.x.X11 wm_window_shading -bool true Enables double clicking on a titlebar to shade the window defaults write org.x.X11 wm_auto_quit -bool true Automatically quit quartz-wm (thus shutting down the X11 server) when the last window is closed. defaults write org.x.X11 wm_auto_quit_timeout -int 3 Set the timeout for the auto-quit feature. If wm_auto_quit is true, quartz-wm will wait this many seconds before attempting to shutdown. If another window is created in that time, quartz-wm will not shutdown. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
DISPLAY This variable is used to determine which X server to use. SEE ALSO
