How do you copy/paste between vim windows in DWM?

tladuke · 2010-01-04 23:10:25

I like the vim registers, yank, etc. but I like the DWM window management, so I'm always making new terminals, opening something in vim, then moving them around alot, sending them to different tags, and so on. It's especially hard to copy when I have line numbers on.

Or, how do you do manage your vim windows for programming?

"+y
"+p

works fine for me...

Either that doesn't work for me or I'm pressing it wrong.

What have you got in your .vimrc by way of pasting functions?

Nothing that I can see. Thanks for the tip; I'll go look that up.

  2 set autoindent

 19 function InsertTabWrapper() 
 20         let col = col('.') - 1 
 21         if !col || getline('.')[col- 1] !~ '\k' 
 22                 return "\<tab>"    
 23         else 
 24                 return "\<c-p>" 
 25         endif
 26 endfunction 
 27 inoremap <tab> <c-r>=InsertTabWrapper()<cr>

You could start by using mine if you like - it is cobbled together from posts here...

Thanks. Now I have "+y "+p working.

Kind of an awkward combo...

Indeed. I often find myself, with my fingers poised above the keys, thinking "now, how does this work again..."

There is probably a way to rebind the keys - but it works and, the odd brain freeze aside, it hardly seems worth the candle.
