| Yank normally, but just copy it automatically to your system clipboard as well. | |
| Added to my .vimrc. Should work from visual mode when you press y and from ex mode: 1,10YankToSystemRegister | |
| " Auto Yank text to the OS X clipboard | |
| function! CopyToSystemRegister() | |
| let @*=@" | |
| endfunction | |
| command! -range -bar YankToSystemRegister <line1>,<line2>yank|call CopyToSystemRegister() | |
| vnoremap y :YankToSystemRegister<cr> |
set clipboard=unnamed is probably as good as it gets. Im not a fan of having everything characters go to the system clipboard though but vim registers still work fine.
Also started using yankring.vim which is awesome
