I'm not 100% familiar with the terminology but can you explain what you do exactly?
I usually also copy and paste to vim from X-selection and with shift+insert..

@pazz shift+insert should be a terminal feature to insert the current X selection. The vim register + can be used to access (read/write) the X clipboard with vim key bindings (check :help "+ and :help "* for the selection).
@robert-winkler It might be interesting for this how you have configured alot:
What are your settings for handle_mouse, terminal_cmd, editor_in_thread
and editor_spawn?
Also: Do you copy from or to vim? Or do you select text in the alot interface and try to paste it into vim?

@pazz
Strangely, I cannot exchange any data through the default "+ register;
:reg does not even list it after 'writing' to it from X.
If I open a second vim, I can copy to the X clipboard, and from there to
the second vim buffer/a text file. And from there, I can import the data
to the alot vim.
Somehow, the communication between vim and X seems broken, if vim is
called from alot.
@lucc
Where can I revise those settings? I did not configure them in the
config file.

Sorry, I don't know how to help/debug this. It could be an issue with urwid,
which provides alot's UI and event loop.

you can set them in ~/.config/alot/config,
see here for more details and default values:

Are you starting a different version of vim from inside alot? Check :version to see if it has +X11 or so enabled.

You are completely right!
Calling the editor in alot, and :version, gives:
Huge version without GUI
-clipboard -X11 -xterm_clipboard
in the terminal:
Huge version with GTK3 GUI
+clipboard +X11 +xterm_clipboard
the subversion (8.1, included patches 1-2269), is the same for both.
Thus, I run `update-alternatives --config editor`
and discovered that /usr/bin/vim.basic was chosen as default editor...
I changed the selection to /usr/bin/vim.gtk3; now everything should work
fine.
Thanks a lot, Robert
