fauxClip

fauxClip is a Vim plugin to provide a pseudo clipboard support for versions of Vim compiled without +clipboard

fauxClip uses

• xclip (or xsel as fallback)
• pbcopy / pbpaste
• clip.exe / powershell.exe Get-Clipboard
• wl-copy / wl-paste

as default copy and paste command, but you can override either of these if you have more specific needs.

_{(The following examples utilize defaults for Linux)}

• Copy:

let g:fauxClip_copy_cmd         = 'xclip -f -i -selection clipboard'
let g:fauxClip_copy_primary_cmd = 'xclip -f -i'

• Paste:

let g:fauxClip_paste_cmd         = 'xclip -o -selection clipboard'
let g:fauxClip_paste_primary_cmd = 'xclip -o'

If you for some reasons don't want to suppress error messages from clipboard command (e.g. xclip's empty clipboard), then:

let g:fauxClip_suppress_errors = 0

If Vim is compiled with +clipboard, but you want to use this plugin regardless, then:

let g:fauxClip_always_use = 1
