Cannot toggle repeatedly through yankring

[simlei]

I past text with p, then immediately press CTRL-P. It goes back one entry in the buffer. I paste, the entry that was before the first one is pasted. So far, so good.

But then it gets sad: Pressing CTRL-P multiple times after a paste only toggles the yankring revolution once! At the second CTRL-P, I get the status: "last action was not paste, swap ignored".

But I want to access the yank 2 times before my last! What am I doing wrong? Or is it even a bug...

In the README it was described as

[...] What this means for example is that you can toggle a given paste back using <CTRL-P> 10 times, [...]

So, I assumed, repeated CTRL-P was the way to go.

---

Clarification: I am new to vim. I have though tried out the "original"YankRing now, and it is clear to me what to expect. In short, your CTRL-P and CTRL-N keybindings do not work at all. They do not change the text that has been previously pasted. Pretty frustrating :(

Because: I really like how you redirected everything in the black hole and made a dedicated "move" command. Exactly what I want! So - I will go with the original YankRing for now but would be glad to assist in debugging this issue!

I am on Vim 8.0.1669. This is my vimrc

Yes, this is a known issue, reported here as well : https://github.com/svermeulen/vim-easyclip/issues/109

Unfortunately I don't have time to look into it for another couple weeks minimum. Like I said in the other issue, if anyone with vimscript knowlege is able to help in the meantime that would be great

[simlei]

Is there any news on this? Your plugin in concept is great, but right now I have fallen back on the Yankring which massively pollutes my key bindings. I absolutely do not have the skills to debug a vimscript plugin that deals with registers, though :/

[svermeulen]

No news yet, but like I said in my last comment, I should finally have time in the next week to start taking a look

I am not seeing this issue so I think it's something new to Vim 8 / Neovim? Not sure

I can sympathize with your not wanting to learn vimscript :)

[simlei]

I'm sandboxing my vim right now anyways and should be able to make a minimal reproduction repo in the next week. You would just have to make it and a bashscript would bootstrap 1) subfolder-installed vim 2) minimal vimrc via VIMINIT environment variable. I'll post again here when I have it.

I tired rolling back to some earlier commits when I believe this was working for me on Neovim, but no luck. I'm guessing that means that something changed in Neovim that broke this functionality.

[gauteh]

I'm hitting this bug as well. Would be super nice if this could be fixed! Missing the other features from similar plugins. Tried with a minimal vimrc (only vim-repeat and vim-easyclip), still the same.

As stated now at the top of the readme, easyclip is being split up into three new plugins that target Vim 8 / Neovim. I'm migrating to neovim and have got the previous yank swapping functionality working correctly again in Neovim with nvim-yoink
