I'm trying out vimperator, I mainly wanted it for the hjkl scrolling, I like it's "hint" system for following links, these two features are really all I need; I think.

I don't mind the other features, it just sometimes get in my way.

The thing that annoys me the most is copy/pasting. I'm used to ctrl-c/ctrl-v, I don't mind using another shortcut, but ..

:help yank indicates that copying selected text is done with Y, but the only method mentioned for pasting is the middle mouse button!

This is so ridiculously against the spirit of vim!

How can I paste in vimperator without using the mouse?

It's not a huge problem, but it usually opens right over the page I've just invoked the editor from, which means I have to use the mouse to move it, should… >>> More

But when I specify a username and password of another account (a member of Users), nothing seems to happen. The same code works fine with Calc.exe or IE. This is weird. Any ideas? Here… >>> More
