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?
Have you installed a clipboard, like wl-clipboard? you also have to set it up in neovim init.lau fila also with “clipboard=unamedplus” if you want it to be on your system clipboard similar to what you describe. The normal neovim setup is that the nvim clipboard is separate from the system one, but you can copy into it from neovim by using marks like "+yy etc. It’s nice to have two separate if you can get used to it.
Edit: here is a guide. Disclaimer, i dont know if its good I only skimmed it https://hatchjs.com/neovim-copy-to-system-clipboard/
Yeah of Linux on the Desktop!
First you’ll need this guide to make copy & paste work… 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah well last time I checked noone is forcing anyone on linux to use neovim as a text editor. You can just use nano or Kate or sublime or vscode or… dosent matter. Vim != linux, in case your usure about what the topic is here.
