Yank from nvim into clipboard

[orifmilod]

I am trying to yank text from nvim but I cannot do it using it2copy. Anyone successful with configuring g:clipboard with it2copy. So I should be able to pipe yanked text into it2copy

My clipboard config:

 let g:clipboard = {
   \   'name': 'it2copy',
   \   'copy': {
   \      '+': ['it2copy'],
   \      '*': ['it2copy'],
   \   },
   \   'paste': {
   \      '+': ['it2copy'],
   \      '*': ['it2copy'],
   \   },
   \   'cache_enabled': 1,
   \ }

I also tried runnig :w !it2copy and it spits out this output, notice that it actually copies the file but in base64 format: Here is the screen shot

Here is the text version (

Make sure you have access to clipboard enabled here:

@gnachman I already had checked this box :)

[orifmilod]

@gnachman Any help please, Thanks

[gnachman]

Please file an issue at https://iterm2.com/bugs and include a debug log as described in the new issue template. I'll try to get to it quickly since you've been waiting so long!

I have the same issue with neovim v0.4.4, Vi(v8.1.1401) is okay. nvim and vi don't have any plugins and settings

[gnachman]

@4volodin Please see my comment from Apr 22

@gnachman Any help please, Thanks

hi, I just found it2copy can work good in vim but not in nvim， so I would like to use vim , althought I have used nvim for a not short time, :), hope some one can fix the bug

[gnachman]

I can't even git it to run the custom copy command, but based on the issue that @4volodin filed it seems like nvim doesn't pass the output from the command through to the terminal emulator. Instead, it escapes it for human consumption. Can someone who can actually get nvim to run the custom copy command file a bug against nvim for this?

[wangweixuan]

Nvim is messing up the output from it2copy instead of sending it directly to terminal. See https://github.com/neovim/neovim/issues/1496.

I managed to redirect the output:

:w !it2copy>$SSH_TTY

Lua config:

vim.g.clipboard = {
    name = 'iTerm2 copy',
    copy = {
        ['+'] = {'bash', '-c', 'it2copy>$SSH_TTY'},
        ['*'] = {'bash', '-c', 'it2copy>$SSH_TTY'}
    },
    paste = {['+'] = 'true', ['*'] = 'true'}
}

@wangweixuan solution works for me if I directly SSH into a host. If I am using tmux -CC tmux integration then I get the following error:

** tmux mode started **

  X    Force-quit tmux mode.
  L    Toggle logging.
  C    Run tmux command.
