These are sad times. Enter vim-anywhere! Once invoked, vim-anywhere will open a buffer. Close it and its contents are copied to your clipboard and your previous application is refocused. Installation Requirements macOS: - MacVim ( brew install --cask macvim ) Linux: - Gnome (or a derivative) - gVim Install Update Uninstall Keybinding macOS: ( default = ctrl+cmd+v ) You can adjust the shortcut via System Settings. Linux: ( default = ctrl+alt+v ) Gnome I3WM Adjust in case $mod is not set to ctrl. History vim-anywhere creates a temporary file in $TMPDIR/vim-anywhere (macOS) or /tmp/vim-anywhere (Linux) when invoked. These files stick around until you restart your system, giving you a temporary history. View your history: Reopen your most recent file: Why? I use Vim for almost everything. I wish I didn't have to say almost . My usual workflow is to open Vim, write, copy the text out of my current buffer and paste it into whatever application I was just using. vim-anywhere attempts to automate this process as much as possible, reducing the friction of using Vim to do more than just edit code.
