System Copy =========== System copy provides vim mappings for copying text to the os specific clipboard. Most people will be happy just setting their Vim clipboard to the system clipboard, but I find that doing so pollutes my clipboard history. Instead, this plugin creates a unique mapping that explicitly pulls content from Vim into the system clipboard. Usage ----- System copy provides a mapping to copy to the system clipboard. It accepts a motion or can be used with a visual selection. The default mapping is `cp`, and can be followed by any motion or text object. For instance: - `cpiw` => copy word into system clipboard - `cpi'` => copy inside single quotes to system clipboard In addition, `cP` is mapped to copy the current line directly. Clipboard Utilities ------------------- - OSX - pbcopy - Windows - clip - Linux - xsel Installation ------------ If you don't have a preferred installation method, I recommend using [Vundle][]. Assuming you have Vundle installed and configured, the following steps will install the plugin: Add the following line to your `~/.vimrc` and then run `PluginInstall` from within Vim: ``` vim Plugin 'christoomey/vim-system-copy' ```
