smartyank.nvim VS nvim-osc52

I also had issues with when and what to copy into the system clipboard/osc52/etc, take a look at the README for smartyank.nvim might work out for you.

Hmm so how would this compare to something like this ? https://github.com/ibhagwan/smartyank.nvim ? Nice plugin btw

I just started using smartyank.nvim which only overwrites the system clipboard if you yank, not on deletes or overwrites. Not exactly what your asking for I think but along the same lines. Works in tmux and over ssh too, so it’s nifty.

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).
