nvim-osc52 VS pvim

I've been using https://github.com/ojroques/nvim-osc52 for a while and it works great but now it's one less plugin yay.

I'm using nvim-osc52 to handle the copying due to using vim on multiple platforms (WSL and MacOS), tmux, and SSH. The default copying command just doens't work. They do provide commands require('osc52').copy(text) and require('osc52').copy_register(register) tho, do you know how I can pass in the entire buffer to it like the above `:%y+`?

Does this eliminate the need for things like nvim-osc52 (what I have been using for a while now to deal with this)?

try using https://github.com/ojroques/nvim-osc52

I do also use https://github.com/ojroques/nvim-osc52 as a separate binding for copying when I'm sshed through WSL.

Alright, I finished porting my conf and everything works perfectly, except nvim-osc52. I can't make sense of the error, but it doesn't happen with packer:

Its also possible you will have to deal with escape code shenanigans to get copy/paste working properly in it. I use nvim-osc52 for my yank management as it handles copy to clipboard regardless of the shell wrapping it.

In neovim I use this plugin to get it to work with the usual yank commands (i.e. mouse or visual mode to highlight and then press y, or yy for a line, etc).

Psst. I made pvim for exactly this purpose (originally, it's expanded since then)

Shameless plug for a setup that uses -u and all the config that has to go with it

Anyways I see that there is https://github.com/RoryNesbitt/pvim but I don't know if it has much traction or if there are problems. I'm not too familiar with what AppImages are. If anyone could let me know what the easiest way to create a portable version of my nvim setup that I can just drop on a remote machine that would be great.

A This Week in Neovim PR for this news may already exist: - PR - Referenced Repo

pvim is a portable vim wrapper for packer based configs. it intends to contain everything to the one directory and if needed grab the neovim app image.
