从 Ubuntu 20.04 Vim 复制并粘贴到另一个应用程序

Question

Problem definition

It doesn't work as expected "+y and "*y command.

I don't know what's problem.

What I tried

• I've already seen these.
  

1. How to make vim paste from (and copy to) system's clipboard?

2. How can I copy text to the system clipboard from Vim?

Not only these but also lots of another Q&As.

I have tried these but still doesn't work.

My environment

I'm using Windows 10. And on windows, I installed Ubuntu 20.04 and using VIM.

Result of vim --version | grep 'clip' vim --version | grep 'clip' is here. +clipboard

As you see, clipboard and xterm_clipboard option is enabled.

And as said another Q&A of links, I append set clipboard=unnamedplus into my vimrc file.

But the result did not change.

Answer 1

只需在按住 Shift 的同时借助鼠标选择要复制的文本，然后按 Ctrl + Shift + c进行复制，然后您就可以将其粘贴到任何程序之外。

Answer 2

As I understand you want to copy from vim in WSL to Windows. Unfortunately WSL and Windows have different clipboards, but this is solvable. For example in order to copy file contents from WSL to Windows clipboard, you need to pipe file contents to clip.exe :

cat myfile | clip.exe

So in vim we can:

1. yank your selection
2. Drop to command line and type :! echo :! echo
3. Paste the selection with Ctrl + r "
4. Continue typing in the command line: | clip.exe | clip.exe
5. hit Enter and profit!

Probably it would be useful to write some autocmd for this in vimrc.
