Bug 315583

when compiled with +xterm_clipboard / +clipboard flags, i can manipulate X primary selection / clipboard via vim registers */+ (for my setup) but only when using xterm/gtk based terminals. i would like support for the appropriate protocol in Konsole too please

the lack of support for this feature has been worked around via interaction with the mouse until today's use case where i needed to move a selection from a vertically split vim window. in this case, using the mouse isn't feasible for multiple lines as only entire lines can be selected

according to the very helpful 'Sho_' (hein@kde.org) on IRC, the protocol was added for xterm in around 2006

control codes here:

follow any relevant conventions on:

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. with vim -i | grep \+xterm-clipboard confirming support in vim
2. make a visual selection in vim
3. type  "*p    (3 characters!), and assuming vim's * register points to X-primary selection, go and middle-click in another app's text box/widget etc. 
Actual Results:  
no vim selection pasted

Expected Results:  
vim selection pasted
