Hi Phil,
your issue sounds somehow like a RFE for Clipman to monitor also for
some commands from cli mode, but I do not know how difficult the
implementation is therefore, maybe it's technically impossible.
Technical background: Vim has its own clipboard manager in use that does
not know anything about running Xorg (or Wayland) applications, so I
guess the own clipboard of vi as in cli mode is used. Does it work if
you select text with the mouse and copy by help from context menu entry
or the menu of the terminal emulator (xfce4-terminal)?
Did you check upstream for any existing issue? Otherwise, you should
file a RFE in rhbz and as well to upstream of Clipman (the latter is the
generally preferred way).
You could also try with GPaste (based on Gtk as well) or Qlipper (Qt
based) as alternatives to Clipman.

People,
In Vim, these commands are supposed to copy text to the system clipboard
- but the text does not show up in Clipman:
"+yy
"*yy
- why doesn't this work?
In fact, rather than copying the current line as above, I want to copy
the text of a whole file which is not conveniently done by clicking and
dragging the mouse . . but I can't even get it to work on one line . .
Thanks,
Phil.

Hi,
It may simply be because vim is not compiled with clipboard support on Fedora:
$ vim --version | grep -e Features -e clipboard
Huge version without GUI. Features included (+) or not (-):
-clipboard +iconv +path_extra -toolbar
+eval +mouse_dec +startuptime -xterm_clipboard
Best,
Dridi

Dridi, Raphael,
Sorry about the very slow response - other dramas to deal with
unfortunately . . :

After Raphael's response but before Dridi's response, I did in fact
confirm this - I ended up installing vim-X11 as well as vim-enhanced
which solved the problem. It seems like it should be an option for
.vimrc to me . .
Thanks,
Phil.
Best,
