You can communicate with the system clipboard via the *
or +
registers. For example, "*p
pastes text from the system clipboard into iVim. "+yy
yanks the current line from iVim into the system clipboard. You may receive errors if the clipboard is empty.
Yeah, when I try to paste using *p I always get “E749: empty buffer”. I copy in the notes app, switch to iVim, hit ‘:’ to invoke the ex command line, then enter the command and it fails. Any suggestions?
The examples given above are all commands in the Normal mode. See ":h :put" or ":h :yank" for the Ex counterparts.
Trying it in normal mode gives me “E348: no string under cursor”. I’m glad the instructions you are giving me are exactly what I thought should work. But no matter what I do, it doesn’t seem to work.
Aha! Finally got it. The viewer I was using for this issue was stripping your leading quote. Thanks for the help!
I feel like I must be missing the obvious, but so far I’ve had zero success trying to copy/paste from/to the system clipboard on my iPad Pro with other applications. I haven’t been able to find anything in the help as to what special register I should use for yank/put or whatever. Could somebody help me out and explain how I might do simple things such as:
Thanks in advance!
