Clipboard integration for Nvim *nvim-clipboard*
|
|
|
|
By default, Nvim has no connection to the system clipboard. Eventually that
|
|
will be implemented by UI programs, which connect to Nvim via |msgpack-rpc|.
|
|
|
|
Even though externalized UIs are not available yet, there's a workaround that
|
|
enables clipboard usage through the python interface(which also uses
|
|
|msgpack-rpc| and consequently can implement the clipboard methods required
|
|
by Nvim):
|
|
|
|
- Make sure you follow the setup instructions in |nvim-python-quickstart|.
|
|
- Install the `xerox` python module:
|
|
>
|
|
$ pip install xerox
|
|
<
|
|
- Create a ~/.vim/pythonx/nvim_clipboard.py file with the following contents:
|
|
>
|
|
import xerox
|
|
|
|
class NvimClipboard(object):
|
|
def __init__(self, vim):
|
|
self.provides = ['clipboard']
|
|
|
|
def clipboard_get(self):
|
|
return xerox.paste().split('\n')
|
|
|
|
def clipboard_set(self, lines):
|
|
xerox.copy(u'\n'.join([line.decode('utf-8') for line in lines]))
|
|
<
|
|
This should enable the '+' and '*' registers. As an optional step, set the
|
|
'unnamedclip' option to transparently access clipboard using the unnamed
|
|
register. If you use the same |vimrc| for both Vim and Nvim, make sure you
|
|
only set the option when `has('nvim')` is true:
|
|
>
|
|
if has('nvim')
|
|
set unnamedclip
|
|
endif
|
|
<
