在制表符或终端之间的vim中轻松复制/粘贴

Question

What line should I add in my vimrc to easily copy/paste between terminals or between different files/tabs?

I now have:

" Better copy & paste
set pastetoggle=<F2>
set clipboard=unnamed

I use my vim as Python IDE, never had problems so far, but it doesn't seem to handle copy/paste between 2 different files/tabs.

What line should I add? What do you use to copy/paste between different terminals or tabs?

Answer 1

It is personal preference, but i use the standard:

"+y
"+p

I like that this works by default and for me, it has became a 'finger macro' that i can type easily and quickly. You could assign these to something else if you like but i find this works fine as is.

A vimtip was linked in the below wiki which remaps the sequence to the following:

vmap <C-Space> "ay
nmap <C-Space> "aP
imap <C-Space> <C-o>"ap
nmap <C-c> "ayiw

vimwiki explanation: https://vim.fandom.com/wiki/Copy,_cut_and_paste

unlike most text editors, Vim distinguishes between its own registers and the system clipboard. By default, Vim copies to, cuts to, and pastes from its own default register, called the unnamed register ("", also called quotequote) instead of the system clipboard.

Assuming Vim was compiled with clipboard access, it is possible to access the "+ or "* registers, which can modify the system clipboard. In this case, one can copy with eg "+y in visual mode, or "+y{motion} in normal mode, and paste with eg "+p.

If your installation of Vim was not compiled with clipboard support, you must either install a package that has clipboard support, or use an external command such as xclip as an intermediary. See Accessing the system clipboard for detailed information.
