We can improve the yank by debouncing it: autocmd TextYankPost * call YankDebounced()Ĭall system('win32yank.exe -i -crlf', g:yank_debounce_time_ms = 500Ĭall timer_stop(g:yank_debounce_timer_id) This works but it's noticeably jittery if performing several successive yanks and pastes quickly as we have to shell out every time. Copies use an autocmd to pass the default register to win32yank, and pastes intercept the paste to assign the system clipboard to the default register. That is, the following: set clipboard=unnamedĪutocmd TextYankPost * call system('win32yank.exe -i -crlf', Paste(mode)įirst set the clipboard to the default register ( as the system registers might not even be enabled if Vim was compiled without clipboard support like on my default Ubuntu WSL distro. If we're just using regular Vim, we can still use win32yank.exe, but we have to manually implement what Neovim would normally do for us. Sudo mv /tmp/win32yank.exe /usr/local/bin/ Unzip -p /tmp/win32yank.zip win32yank.exe > /tmp/win32yank.exe

In addition, it's a super small binary and only has to be installed within our WSL distro nothing on the Windows side. And while the Powershell Get-Clipboard cmdlet allows for us to paste into Vim from our Windows clipboard, it'll retain Windows line-endings, so there will be nasty ^Ms everywhere after pasting.
For example, clip.exe only supports copying, but fails to address the pasting issue. While this solution requires installing an external binary win32yank.exe, I'm personally very satisfied with it as both clip.exe and powershell.exe -Clipboard pale in user experience to it. For v0.4.3, how that provider is chosen can be found at provider#clipboard#Executable. Based on where Neovim is running, it chooses an appropriate provider to interact with these system registers. The rest of this section is just context.īy setting set clipboard=unnamedplus as if we were on a regular Linux system under X11, we tell Neovim to use the system registers as our default clipboard when yanking and pasting.
#Master copyclip how to#
We can follow their FAQ under How to use the Windows clipboard from WSL. So there's a lot of answers, even on cross-network questions like this one on Super User, and this one on Vi and Vim, and unfortunately I'm not satisfied with any of them, so here's a different answer. Vmap :w! ~/.vimbuffer \| !cat ~/.vimbuffer \| clip.exe Įdit2: below has a much cleaner approach down in the comments using system events. Paste copied text to any vim pane using ctrl-v in normal or visual mode.Ĭtrl-c yanks the selected text, overwrites ~/.vimbuffer with the selected text, runs a UNIX command to pipe out the data from ~/.vimbuffer to clip.exe.Īny further improvement (e.g.: making command silent) is much appreciated!Ĭommand can now copy strings with any length, not just whole lines. Paste copied text outside your terminal using the usual method or Higlight any text using visual or visual-block and press ctrl-c. Vmap y:new ~/.vimbufferVGp:x \| :!cat ~/.vimbuffer \| clip.exe vimrc and create a file called ~/.vimbuffer " copy (write) highlighted text to. Since neither "*y nor "+y (.) work, an alternative is the following:Īdd this to your.
