nvim-osc52 VS vim-oscyank

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).

I'm usung this plugin and map it to https://github.com/ojroques/vim-oscyank

Yes OSC 52 is very handy for vim over SSH: instead of X11 forwarding - you can just yank text from remote vim into the local clipboard using OSC 52 [1].

Overall it's much quicker - as yanking in vim with X11 forwarding and '+clipboard' sometimes had a delay.

(ps: I think OSC 52 is implemented in xterm and URXVT, but not yet in gnome-terminal)

If your terminal supports it (iterm, kitty, later versions of gnome-terminal and others) this osc52 plugin is really sweet. It even works over ssh.

Hey! I've had some issues with this as well, I opted for this vim plugin, vim-oscyank, which uses escape characters to inform tmux (and therefore your terminal) of your clipboard contents.

The plugin itself is a rewrite in Lua of another plugin of mine, vim-oscyank with a clean-up of the code logic (and it allows me to remove one more Vimscript plugin from my config :p)

I just use this [0] vim plugin to copy in vim. For copying from the CLI in ssh I use this app [1]. Both leverage OSC52 escape codes which are pretty widely supported by terminals nowadays.

Need to figure out an equally simple solution for CLI paste support though.

Have you looked into vim-oscyank. It uses an ANSI escape sequence to copy to clipboard, provided your terminal supports it (most modern ones do).

Thank you everyone for the help! I spent a few days messing with these solutions. FOR ME: vim-oscyank worked best.
