vim9jit VS vim-oscyank

That's not happening any time soon, but there's this project by one of Neovim's contributers that transpiles Vim9 script into Lua.

Probably feasible with https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit actually

There's https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit. It has reportedly been used to port Vim9script runtime files to Neovim.

Neovim is going to use a transpiler that covers vim9script code to lua code using the nvim api in the future (https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit)

I didn’t watch the streams because I wasn’t totally sure what he was even doing, but maybe this will take some of it off your hands: https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit

It could (rightly) be argued that neovim could just merge in vim9script, but I think this probably isn't the best more. I'm personally more in favor of getting a vim9 cross-compiler working, that way there's an easy way to support both. But that's my ignorant two cents on the matter.

A core contributor to Neovim is toying with a Vim9Script to Lua convertor.

That's not necessarily true.

Core maintainer of the Neovim Tjdevries is working on a compatibility layer that would allow vim9 to not only run in Neovim, but likely faster.

My understanding was the neovim folks decided this wasn't work the hassle. TJ already has https://github.com/tjdevries/vim9jit, which transpiles vim9scripts to lua, and that is much more likely the way things will go.

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.
