nclipper.vim

Usage

Start visual mode with V and select some lines.

Type <C-y>

Now your clipboard or Vim register "+ has the lines you selected with line numbers. Paste it anywhere you want!

If you also want to copy the filename in the 1st line, use <M-y> (meta + y which is cmd + y on OSX and alt + y on Linux.)

Configulation

If you don't want to map <C-y>, assign a true value into g:nclipper_nomap in your ~/.vimrc.

let g:nclipper_nomap = 1

And you can map the functionality on any key like the following example.

vmap <space>y <Plug>(nclipper)
vmap <space>Y <Plug>(nclipper-with-filename)

If you want to change the format of yanked string, you can specify the format with g:nclipper_format. Here is the default value:

let g:nclipper_format = 'printf("%" . max_len . "d %s", v:key + begin, v:val)'

You can use these variables:

• v:key
  • current line's index number
• v:val
  • current line's string
• begin
  • the first line number
• end
  • the last line number
• max_len
  • max string length between begin and end. for e.g.: when begin is 98 and end is 102, max_len is 3. this value is identical to len(end).
