I want to yank multiple lines with a colon command into the UNIX-clipboard without visual mode, like this:
:1,4"+y
or
:1,$"+y
The clipboard is active --> echo has('clipboard') returns 1
I'm on raspberry pi and tried gvim and vim.
Can anybody shed some light onto this?
Thank you and kind regards!
bk2204 :
This is possible with the :yank command, which can be abbreviated :y. It takes as its argument the register without the ". So, your examples could be written as so:\n:1,4y +\n:1,5y +\n\nWhile it's possible to do this with the :normal command to do this with something like :normal 1G4"+yy, this would be a lot more complex and needlessly so. :yank is simpler and more flexible if you're fine with linewise operations.",
