问题
I tried to copy text from IDEA with ideavim plugin, using default vim keybindings (y). But this text isn't copied in global buffer and i can paste it only in IDEA.
How can I use copied piece of text in browser, for example?
回答1:
Vim's yank command doesn't yank to the system clipboard by default; it yanks to the unnamed register. You can use the * or + register to access the system clipboard; also see this wiki article for more information. Or just set this option in your ~/.ideavimrc:
set clipboard+=unnamed
This ~/.ideavimrc setting has been supported in IdeaVim since VIM-476 was implemented in version 0.38. If the file does not exist create it in your user/home directory.
Note also that this is all standard Vim behavior; none of it is specific to IdeaVim except for the name of the config file.
