How to yank into the global register?

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I have vim mode enabled. I am trying to yank to the global register by typing `"*y``. But, it doesn’t’ seem to work. Any idea why?

Thx!

@banderlog The other problem, the API is asynchronous. So even with Chrome it won’t work without major changes (or constantly polling).


Paste works as “Shift+Insert, Shift+Insert” in Visual mode – first just activates insert mode.

This could be improved. It should get the event data and replace the selection. Ref vim.js#L395 If it can’t get data from the clipboard, fallback to current behaviour. It should also set the delete & last change registers.

The vim code is now being maintained at https://github.com/replit/codemirror-vim/ . If this is still important, check whether there is an issue open for it there.
