vim-oscyank VS fauxClip

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.

For simulating +clipboard, I'm using fauxClip plugin (authored by yours truly).

Again, I do recommend fauxClip plugin - it's as close to real deal as possible and so far never disappointed me.

I don't have direct solution for your problem, but in case of failure, you may give fauxClip plugin a shot.

You can also install fauxClip plugin

You either have to change version of Vim or install fauxClip plugin

fauxClip - just install and it simulates +clipboard

You need to use + register (:h quote+). "+y will yank selection to primary register, which is connected to system clipboard (Ctrl-V in browser). To do that, you need Vim compiled with +clipboard support. If you happen to have version without it (many of them, check with :echo has("clipboard")) then you need fauxClip plugin or different version.
