A brief introduction to the interoperability of vim and system pasteboard

This problem has been frequently encountered recently, recorded here.

My environment

• SystemArchlinux
• VimNVIM v0.2.2 / vim 8.0.1297

Premise

Requires VIM support+clipboard

• Check methodvim --version | grep clipboard
• If you are using unsupported vim-minimal , installation gvim can be solved, the command line version will also support after installation
• As for Nvim, I'm not quite sure, as if VIM supports it???

Begin

No longer details of Vim's copy-and-paste cache system, only introduction to the method, in particular, can refer to a variety of detailed information on the blog

1. Copy from Vim to system pasteboard

   • Similar to using normal y commands, you "+y can copy content to the system pasteboard only

2. Copy from System Pasteboard to Vim

   • Method 1: p Similar to the command, you only need to replace the "+p
   • Method 2: First vim input command :set paste (so that the paste effect is good, no strange indentation), insert mode using the terminal paste function

3. Replication between multiple Vim

   • If it is the same vim process with different buffer, can be directly p / y without problems
   • If it is a different process, it can be done as mentioned above, that is +寄存器 , the previous"+y / "+p

Finally, say something.

In simple terms, you can follow: < double quotes >< register name >< command > To use different vim registers, and the command to view registers is:reg

I'm just going to take a note of the simple procedure, the principle of vim register is interested in reading the vim of the document and a variety of blog bar ~
