Make Yank etc. copy to clipboard

See original GitHub issue

Hi, When I do yank in VS Code, it would be nice to copy it to the clipboard. If I directly use neovim on the command line, yank does copy it to the clipboard as I have the following setting.

set clipboard+=unnamedplus

In the vscode-neovim setting, I’m pointing it to the init.vm which has the above setting.

Is there some setting I’m missing? Please let me know.

I can confirm that with set clipboard=unnamedplus in init.vim yanking from VS Code works with the clipboard.

I am using Linux Centos8 and I have installed xclip, this is VITAL for it to work in Linux when using Xorg. @asvetliakov You might want to add that to the README, took me a while to work that out. From the manual:

Nvim looks for these clipboard tools, in order of priority:

  - |g:clipboard|
  - pbcopy, pbpaste (macOS)
  - wl-copy, wl-paste (if $WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set)
  - xclip (if $DISPLAY is set)
  - xsel (if $DISPLAY is set)
  - lemonade (for SSH) https://github.com/pocke/lemonade
  - doitclient (for SSH) http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/doit/
  - win32yank (Windows)
  - tmux (if $TMUX is set)

Seems to work for me once I add that line as well. However be aware of the files you put in, ~/.vimrc or ~/.nvimrc doesn’t work anymore it has to be ~/.config/nvim/init.vim
