*nvim_clipboard.txt* For Nvim. {Nvim} NVIM REFERENCE MANUAL by Thiago de Arruda Clipboard integration for Nvim *nvim-clipboard* Nvim has no connection to the system clipboard, instead it is accessible through the |nvim-provider| infrastructure which transparently uses shell commands for communicating with the clipboard. To use clipboard on Nvim, make sure you have one of the following programs installed and available on $PATH: - xclip - xsel(newer alternative to xclip) - pbcopy/pbpaste(already available on Mac OS X) Having any of these programs should enable the '+' and '*' registers. As an optional step, set the 'unnamedclip' option to transparently access clipboard using the unnamed register. If you use the same |vimrc| for both Vim and Nvim, make sure you only set the option when `has('nvim')` is true: > if has('nvim') set unnamedclip endif < ============================================================================== vim:tw=78:ts=8:noet:ft=help:norl:
