ahw / vim-pbcopy Goto Github PK

Like space. Sometimes I like to edit text in Vim that I will later paste into an email or some other form which expects that the only newlines will be ones that separate paragraphs. In that case I want to join every line of text with a single space but continue to have newlines between the paragraphs (separated by blank lines).

Would allow an easy interface into clipper and solve the case where user does not have reverse SSH access from remote host to the client Mac host.

Perhaps this replaces #5? There should be a global flag or flags that specify which protocol to use. Plugin should transform text appropriately (e.g., escaping newlines, url-encoding) and send over that protocol. I know ssh isn't a "protocol" but you know what I mean.

Seems to happen on Mac OS X.

When text that contains the literal characters "foo\n\nbar" I'm getting the following in my clipboard:

foo


bar

instead of foo\n\nbar.
