Last update on mac os seems to have borked yanking navigating and pasting to a different file.

@tpope long time fan and follower of your work circa Hashrocket days. It seems like the last mac update messes with the following vi workflow: yanking (yy) content from one file -> navigating via vinegar to another -> and pasting (p). Nothing happens other than creating a new empty line. Very strange behavior. Below find the installed versions of OS, Terminal, and Plugins. Hope it's helpful.

Versions installed: OS: macOS High Sierra (Version 10.13.4) Terminal: Iterm2 (build 3.1.6)

• ctrlp.vim
• node
• rust.vim
• vim-airline
• vim-airline-themes
• vim-bundler
• vim-fugitive
• vim-go
• vim-jsx
• vim-rails
• vim-sensible
• vim-surround
• vim-terraform
• vim-toml
• vim-unimpaired
• vim-vinegar (latest pull)

Hope this is helpful. Cheers.

Have you tried with bare Netrw?

[dsalazar32]

I gave Netrw a try and the yank/paste between files seems to work as expected.

Try turning the banner back on with let g:netrw_banner = 1. There seem to be a lot of Netrw quirks when you turn it off.

That did it! Weird that was never an issue before. Thanks for the assist really appreciate it.

I have the same problem as OP (macos 10.14.6/neovim --HEAD). Turning banner on fixes the problem. So this bug should be reported against netrw?

Yes please!
