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?
You can also add
set clipboard=unnamedto your .vimrc. This makes it so that all yank and paste operations use the system clipboard, but I find it gets in the way more often than it helps.In most cases, yank in Vim just need somewhere to store contents temporarily, not share it with others.
