Accessing Clipboard Contents Across Multiple Instances of Vim from Terminal
|
||
================================================================================
|
||
**Vim (Vi IMproved)** is one of the most favourite text editors among programmers. It has its own specialities in performing different operations with short hand commands.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
For example, to copy the highlighted text we use the ‘**y**‘ command and ‘x‘ to cut the same. But, by default **vim** (and not **gVim**) clipboard contents cannot be accessed after closing vim instances.
|
||
|
||
Vim uses the ‘**+**‘ register to refer to the system clipboard. You can run ‘**vim –version**‘ and if you cannot see something like “**+xterm_clipboard**” and instead “**xterm_clipboard**“, then internal clipboard contents will not be available outside **vim**.
|
||
|
||
### Install gvim and parcellite ###
|
||
|
||
In order to access the vim clipboard contents, you need to install **gvim** package. The **gVim** is a GUI mode for vim editor where clipboard option is enabled by default.
|
||
|
||
# yum install -y gvim
|
||
|
||
Next, enable [RPMForge Repository][1] to install **parcellite** package. The Parcellite is a lightweight, tiny and free clipboard manager for Linux.
|
||
|
||
# yum install -y parcellite
|
||
|
||
Once installed, run the following command. Where argument ‘**&**’ is used to send parcellite for running as a background process.
|
||
|
||
# parcellite &
|
||
|
||
Check whether the option is enabled in gvim.
|
||
|
||
# gvim --version
|
||
|
||
Make sure you have the “**+xterm_clipboard**” option displayed in the output as shown below.

|
||
Open up user’s .bashrc file.
|
||
|
||
# vim ~/.bashrc
|
||
|
||
And add the alias and save the file (press ‘**i**’ to insert line and press **ESC**, then run **:wq** to save and exit).
|
||
|
||
# .bashrc
|
||
|
||
# User specific aliases and functions
|
||
|
||
alias rm='rm -i'
|
||
alias cp='cp -i'
|
||
alias mv='mv -i'
|
||
alias vim='gvim -v'
|
||
# Source global definitions
|
||
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
|
||
. /etc/bashrc
|
||
fi
|
||
|
||
This alias is a built-in used to bypass some command to another. Thus every time when vim command is issued, the corresponding alias goes to gvim with clipboard enabled by default.
|
||
|
||
Now edit your ‘**.vimrc**‘ file in a similar way (In case if you don’t have a **.vimrc** file, generate one such file through and then get back here.
|
||
|
||
# vim ~/.vimrc
|
||
|
||
Append the following line and save the file.
|
||
|
||
autocmd VimLeave * call system("echo -n $'" . escape(getreg(), "'") . "' | xsel -ib")
|
||
|
||
Now open any file in vim and highlight the portion of text (using ‘v‘ command) and press “+y. Try to paste anywhere outside vim (after closing or without closing vim) and you are done.
|
||
|
||
### Generating .vimrc File ###
|
||
|
||
Run the following command to generate **.vimrc** file (skip this part if you already have one).
|
||
|
||
# cd [This will put you in home directory]
|
||
# vim .vimrc
|
||
|
||
In vim run the following after pressing the ESC key (In vim every command is run after pressing ESC key which puts you in command mode).
|
||
|
||
:r $VIMRUNTIME/vimrc_example.vim
|
||
:w
|
