Copy in blockwise mode has bug #415

Open ZhiruiLi opened 7 years ago

ZhiruiLi commented 7 years ago

In blockwise mode, one can press 'y' to copy the selection, however, when I trying to paste that text, only the last line of text will appear, others are lost.

t9md commented 7 years ago

Yes, it was not change for initial release. Using core:copy(cmd-c in mac) can copy block.

Technically I can fix, but not seem to easy and I've letting it postpone for a long time. Internally same issue with https://github.com/t9md/atom-vim-mode-plus/issues/149.

Sorry I'm not sure when I'll fix that at this moment.

Well, thanks for your reply. It's not a serious problem, but it is really counter-intuitive to me, and I often copy the wrong text in blockwise mode.

t9md commented 7 years ago

I want to keep this issue open until fixed.

ZhiruiLi commented 7 years ago

Oh, that's a good news for me.

dndln commented 7 years ago

Yes, I just ran into this too. I hope it gets fixed one day!

Blockwise copying is one of those features that really got me to fall in love with Vim last summer (besides macros, registers, and ex-mode). Really hope to see it ported over to your fantastic plugin! :)

I have also hit this yesterday, a fix would be nice. I know this is a bit off topic, but if core:copy handles this correctly, is there an easy way to make vmp use the system wide clipboard buffer for everything?

Is there any workaround until this gets fixed?

I would love to see this fix. It's really handy for copying attribute names (across many lines) from one layer of your code to another (for example, from database column names to objects).
