Send echo or register contents to pbcopy / mac clipboard on mac os x
问题 I have a custom function in vimscript which creates a string and then echo's it to the bottom console. At the moment I copy and paste that output using cmd-c to copy it to the mac os x clipboard. I would like to shorten this workflow by just piping the echo to pbcopy, i tried: :echo "hello" <BAR> !pbcopy But of course that doesn't work. I also tried capturing the output into a register and then outputting it: :@a!pbcopy But it just trys to execute the string stored in @a, which is no a vim
