What I often have to do is to copy something from my editor to the browser and vice versa. But this seems not so easy in some editors. I feel I have to add that I’m on wayland under hyprland.
In some Editors it’s super easy like GNOME Text Editor or nano, you mark some code in the text editor with the mouse and then in the browser you press the middle click on the mouse where you want to paste it, done. You could do it with ctrl-c and ctrl-v but with the mouse only it’s just so much faster. And it works both ways browser <–> editor
But in VSCodium I can do that from editor -> browser, but I can’t do it from browser -> editor, I have no idea why.
In neovim it’s the opposite I can do it from browser -> editor, but I can’t do it from editor -> browser.
Any ideas what is going on?
But if it’s the terminal (kitty) why does it work nicely in nano but not neovim?

i assume you are discovering (n)vims registers here. vim does not copy to your clipboard nor from it, unless you specify a special register for the operation.
it’s one of those cases where vim feels off, until you find an awesome way to utilize it, then it’s feeling like the greatest editor ever again.
Ctrl+c works in terminal and nano but not neovim?
Ctrl-c works everywhere I guess, but normally I don’t use it, I use marking the text and pasting it with the middle click (scroll wheel) on the mouse.
On osx I use alt (option I believe) for copying from the terminal, and that carries over with nvim. Admittedly I tend to use pbcopy for larger amounts of text
