Vim copy one word

• First install Vim.

• To install the packages, first install ‘vundle’ using following command. Use ‘git-shell’ to run this command in Windows.

  git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git ~/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
  
  (in Windows : use 'git-shell' to run below command)
  git clone https://github.com/VundleVim/Vundle.vim.git C:/Users/<Username>/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim
  

• Copy and paste the .vimrc file in the home directory.

• In Windows, paste in the .vimrc file at C:/Users/<Username>/; and change the line “set rtp+= …” in .vimrc with correct location of “Vundle.vim” i.e. “set rtp+=C:/Users/<Username>/.vim/bundle/Vundle.vim”.

• Use double quote to comment/uncomment the packages in .vimrc file e.g. ” Plugin ‘mattn/emmet-vim’ will not install the package “emmet-vim”. Or add some more packages in .vimrc file as required.

• After selecting the packages, open vim and run the command -> :PluginInstall and it will install the all the plugins.

• Use :help <plugin name> to see the list of operations.

Here is how to cut-and-paste or copy-and-paste text using a visual selection in Vim. See Cut/copy and paste using visual selection for the main article.

Cut and paste:

1. Position the cursor where you want to begin cutting.
2. Press v to select characters, or uppercase V to select whole lines, or Ctrl-v to select rectangular blocks (use Ctrl-q if Ctrl-v is mapped to paste).
3. Move the cursor to the end of what you want to cut.
4. Press d to cut (or y to copy).
5. Move to where you would like to paste.
6. Press P to paste before the cursor, or p to paste after.

Copy and paste is performed with the same steps except for step 4 where you would press y instead of d:

• d stands for delete in Vim, which in other editors is usually called cut
• y stands for yank in Vim, which in other editors is usually called copy

Copying and cutting in normal mode[]

In normal mode, one can copy (yank) with y{motion}, where {motion} is a Vim motion. For example, yw copies to the beginning of the next word. Other helpful yanking commands include:

• yy or Y – yank the current line, including the newline character at the end of the line
• y$ – yank to the end of the current line (but don’t yank the newline character); note that many people like to remap Y to y$ in line with C and D
• yiw – yank the current word (excluding surrounding whitespace)
• yaw – yank the current word (including leading or trailing whitespace)
• ytx – yank from the current cursor position up to and before the character (til x)
• yfx – yank from the current cursor position up to and including the character (find x)

Cutting can be done using d{motion}, including:

• dd — cut the current line, including the newline character at the end of the line

To copy into a register, one can use "{register} immediately before one of the above commands to copy into the register {register}. See pasting registers for more information on register syntax.

Pasting in normal mode[]

In normal mode, one can use p to paste after the cursor, or P to paste before the cursor.

The variants gp and gP move the cursor after the pasted text, instead of leaving the cursor stationary.

To select a register from which to paste, one can use "{register}p to paste from the register {register}. See pasting registers.

Pasting in insert mode[]

The contents of a register can be pasted while in insert mode: type Ctrl-r then a character that identifies the register. For example, Ctrl-r then " pastes from the default register, and Ctrl-r then 0 pastes from register zero which holds the text that was most recently yanked (copied). See pasting registers.

Copying and cutting in command-line mode[]

Command-line mode occurs after typing : to enter a command. By default, while in the command line, typing Ctrl-f opens the command-line window where commands can be edited using normal mode. For example, part of one command can be copied then pasted into another command. See using command-line history.

Pasting in command-line mode[]

There are two approaches to pasting in command-line mode. The first is to open the command-line window with Ctrl-f, then use normal-mode commands to paste. See the previous section.

The second approach is to type Ctrl-r then a character to paste the contents of the register identified by the character. See Pasting in insert mode above.

Copy, cut, and paste from the system clipboard[]

Main article: Accessing the system clipboard

Unlike most text editors, Vim distinguishes between its own registers and the system clipboard. By default, Vim copies to, cuts to, and pastes from its own default register, called the unnamed register ("", also called quotequote) instead of the system clipboard.

Assuming Vim was compiled with clipboard access, it is possible to access the "+ or "* registers, which can modify the system clipboard. In this case, one can copy with e.g. "+y in visual mode, or "+y{motion} in normal mode, and paste with e.g. "+p.

If your installation of Vim was not compiled with clipboard support, you must either install a package that has clipboard support, or use an external command such as xclip as an intermediary. See Accessing the system clipboard for detailed information.

Multiple copying[]

Main article: Pasting registers.

Deleted or copied text is placed in the unnamed register. If wanted, a register can be specified so the text is also copied to the named register. A register is a location in Vim’s memory identified with a single letter. A double quote character is used to specify that the next letter typed is the name of a register.

For example, you could select the text hello then type "ay to copy «hello» to the a register. Then you could select the text world and type "by to copy «world» to the b register. After moving the cursor to another location, the text could be pasted: type "ap to paste «hello» or "bp to paste «world». These commands paste the text after the cursor. Alternatively, type "aP or "bP to paste before the cursor.

Windows clipboard[]

When using Vim under Windows, the clipboard can be accessed with the following:

• In step 4, press Shift+Delete to cut or Ctrl+Insert to copy.
• In step 6, press Shift+Insert to paste.

Different instances[]

How does one copy and paste between two instances of Vim on different Linux consoles?

After copying text, open a new buffer for a new file:

:e ~/dummy

• Paste the text to the new buffer.
• Write the new buffer :w.
• Switch to the previous buffer :bp to release *.swp.
• Now switch to the other console.
• Put the cursor at the desired place.
• Read the dummy file :r ~/dummy

Increasing the buffer size[]

By default, only the first 50 lines in a register are saved, and a register is not saved if it contains more than 10 kilobytes. :help ‘viminfo’

In the example below, the first line displays the current settings, while the second line sets:

• '100 Marks will be remembered for the last 100 edited files.
• <100 Limits the number of lines saved for each register to 100 lines; if a register contains more than 100 lines, only the first 100 lines are saved.
• s20 Limits the maximum size of each item to 20 kilobytes; if a register contains more than 20 kilobytes, the register is not saved.
• h Disables search highlighting when Vim starts.

:set viminfo?
:set viminfo='100,<100,s20,h

Introduction

Vim is a commonly used open-source text editor installed by default on most Unix distributions. You can use the text editor in two modes, from a command-line interface or as an independent application in a GUI.

While working in Vim, copying, cutting and pasting text are frequently used shortcuts.

In this tutorial learn how to copy, cut and paste in Vi / Vim editor.

Copy, Cut and Paste in Normal Mode

Before you start, make sure you are in normal mode (text editing/command mode). The best way to do so is to press Esc. This mode allows you to move through the text easily.

Copying in Vim

Copying text in Vim is also referred to as yanking. Use the y key on the keyboard when performing this operation.

There are a number of yank commands, mainly differing on the amount of text you want to copy.

Once in normal mode, move the cursor to the needed place and use the appropriate command.

• To copy an entire line, place the cursor at the beginning of the line and type:

yy

• To copy three (3) lines, move the cursor from where you want to begin copying and type:

3yy

• To copy a word with its trailing whitespace, copy the cursor at the beginning of the word and type:

yaw

• To copy a word without its trailing white-space, navigate the cursor at the beginning of the word and type:

yiw

• To copy everything right of the cursor to the end of the line, use the command:

y$

• To copy everything left of the cursor to the start of the line, type:

y^

• To copy everything between the cursor and a specified character in the line, use the command:

ytx

The command stands for “yank till x”. Replace x with the character to which you want to copy to. The character x will not be included.

• To copy everything between the cursor and a specified character in the line (including that character), use the command:

yfx

This instructs Vim to “find x”.

Cutting in Vim

Cutting text is referred to as deleting in Vim. Use the d key when performing this operation.

If you are using Vim in normal mode, you can easily cut or delete text using the d command. Here are some ways you can cut content:

• To cut the entire line in which the cursor is located type:

dd

• To cut three (3) lines, starting from the one where the cursor is located use:

3dd

• To cut everything right of the cursor to the end of the line use the command:

d$

Pasting in Vim

Once you have selected text in Vim, no matter whether it is using the yank or the delete command, you can paste it in the wanted location.

In Vim terminology, pasting is called putting and the function is utilized with the p command.

You can paste (or put) text by moving the cursor to the wanted position and pressing:

p

Using this command pastes the selected text after the cursor.

To add text before the cursor, type the capitalized command instead:

P

Copy, Cut and Paste in Visual Mode

Alternatively, you can copy and edit text using the visual selection feature. This mode allows you to select text by navigating around.

Use Esc to exit out of the previously used mode and enable visual selection by pressing:

• v (lowercase) to start selecting individual characters
• V (uppercase) to select the entire line
• Ctrl+v to select by block

After you have selected the wanted text you can press:

• y to yank (copy) the content
• d to delete (cut) the content
• p to put (paste) the content

Once you have edited in Vim, make sure to save the file before you exit.

Conclusion

Now you know how to copy, cut and paste in Vim. You may often find yourself needing to make configuration changes to your packages. Most of these can quickly be done in Vim using cut & copy paste.

Next, you can explore the many options VIM to offer, such as Vim color schemes.

Linux, Команды

При работе с текстовыми файлами копирование, вырезание и вставка текста — одна из наиболее часто выполняемых задач.

Vim или его предшественник Vi предустановлен на macOS и почти во всех дистрибутивах Linux. Знание основ Vim полезно в ситуации, когда ваш любимый редактор недоступен.

В этой статье показано, как копировать, вырезать и вставлять в редакторе Vim / Vi.

Копирование, вырезание и вставка в нормальном режиме

Когда вы запускаете редактор Vim, вы находитесь в обычном режиме. В этом режиме вы можете запускать команды Vim и перемещаться по файлу.

Чтобы вернуться в нормальный режим из любого другого режима, просто нажмите Esc .

В Vim есть собственная терминология для копирования, вырезания и вставки. Копирование называется yank ( y ), вырезание называется delete ( d ), а вставка называется put ( p ).

Копирование (Янкинг)

Чтобы скопировать текст, поместите курсор в желаемое место и нажмите клавишу y а затем команду перемещения. Ниже приведены некоторые полезные команды восстановления:

• yy — Янкнуть (скопировать) текущую строку, включая символ новой строки.
• 3yy — 3yy (копирование) трех строк, начиная с строки, в которой находится курсор.
• y$ — копировать (копировать) все от курсора до конца строки.
• y^ — Янкинг (копирование) всего от курсора до начала строки.
• yw — Янкнуть (копировать) до начала следующего слова.
• yiw — yiw (скопировать) текущее слово.
• y% — Янкнуть (копировать) на соответствующий символ. По умолчанию поддерживаются пары () , {} и [] . Полезно для копирования текста между совпадающими скобками.

Резка (Удаление)

В обычном режиме d — клавиша для вырезания (удаления) текста. Переместите курсор в желаемое положение и нажмите клавишу d , а затем команду перемещения. Вот несколько полезных команд для удаления:

• dd — Удалить (вырезать) текущую строку, включая символ новой строки.
• 3dd — Удалить (вырезать) три строки, начиная с линии, в которой находится курсор,
• d$ — Удалить (вырезать) все от курсора до конца строки.

Команды движения, применяемые для восстановления, также действительны для удаления. Например, dw удаляет до начала следующего слова, а d^ удаляет все от курсора до начала строки.

Склеивание (Вставка)

Чтобы поместить извлеченный или удаленный текст, переместите курсор в желаемое место и нажмите p чтобы вставить (вставить) текст после курсора, или P чтобы поместить (вставить) перед курсором.

Копирование, вырезание и вставка в визуальном режиме

Визуальный режим Vim позволяет выбирать текст и управлять им.

1. Поместите курсор на линию, с которой вы хотите начать копирование или резку.

2. Визуальный режим имеет три подтипа.

   • Нажмите v чтобы войти в визуальный режим.
   • Нажмите V чтобы войти в визуальный линейный режим, в котором текст выделяется построчно.
   • Нажмите Ctrl+v чтобы войти в режим визуального блока. В этом режиме текст выделяется прямоугольными блоками.

   Переход в визуальный режим также отмечает начальную точку выбора.

3. Переместите курсор в конец текста, который вы хотите скопировать или вырезать. Вы можете использовать команду перемещения или клавиши со стрелками вверх, вниз, вправо и влево.

   

4. Нажмите y чтобы скопировать, или d чтобы вырезать выделение.

5. Переместите курсор в то место, куда вы хотите вставить содержимое.

6. Нажмите P чтобы вставить содержимое перед курсором, или p чтобы вставить его после курсора.

For X11-based systems (ie. Linux and most other UNIX-like systems)
there are two clipboards which are independent of each other:

• PRIMARY — This is copy-on-select, and can be pasted with the middle mouse
  button.
• CLIPBOARD — This is copied with (usually) ^C, and pasted with ^V (It’s
  like MS Windows).

OS X and Windows systems only have one clipboard.

For X11 systems there are also number of tools that synchronize these clipboards
for you; so if they appear to be the same, you may have one of them running.

Vim has two special registers corresponding to these clipboards:

• * uses PRIMARY; mnemonic: Star is Select (for copy-on-select)
• + uses CLIPBOARD; mnemonic: CTRL PLUS C (for the common keybind)

On Windows & OS X there is no difference between + and *, since these systems
only have a single clipboard, and both registers refer to the same thing (it
doesn’t matter which one you use).

You can use these registers as any register. For example, using the PRIMARY
clipboard * with the y and p commands:

• "*yy
• "*p

You could maybe use this as more convenient keybinds:

noremap <Leader>y "*y
noremap <Leader>p "*p
noremap <Leader>Y "+y
noremap <Leader>P "+p

If you want to «automatically» interface with the system’s clipboard instead of
referring to it manually all the time, you can set the clipboard variable:

• Set it to unnamed to use * (PRIMARY, on select)
• Set it to unnamedplus to use + (CLIPBOARD, ^C)

Now, just using yy will go to the system’s clipboard, instead of Vim’s unnamed
register, and p will paste the system’s clipboard.

You can also assign to these registers just like any register with let:

• :let @+=42
• :let @*=42

The clipboard setting has some more options (such as exclude filters); but
these are the basics. See :help 'clipboard' for the full story

gVim

If you use gVim, you can get copy-on-select behaviour when using
:set guioptions+=a.
This is enabled by default on X11 systems (copies to PRIMARY), but not on MS
Windows & OSX (as selecting any text would override your clipboard).

No +clipboard?

Vim requires the +clipboard feature flag for any of this to work; you can
check if your Vim has this by using :echo has('clipboard') from within Vim (if the
output is 0, it’s not present, if it’s 1, it is), or checking the output of
vim --version for +clipboard.

Most Linux distributions ship with a «minimal» Vim build by default, which
doesn’t have +clipboard, but you can usually install it:

• Debian & Ubuntu: Install vim-gtk3.
• Fedora: install vim-X11, and run vimx instead of vim (more info).
• Arch Linux: install gvim (this will enable +clipboard for normal vim as well).

You could also use xclip, xcopy, or xsel to copy text to the clipboard;
see the following questions for solutions:

• Define custom commands for the * and + registers
• How can I copy over an ssh session without +clipboard?

SSH

You can also use a clipboard on remote machines if you enable X11 forwarding
over SSH. This is especially useful with the above tip since you can then use
xclip to access your desktop’s clipboard. The Vim on the machine you’re
ssh-ing to will still need the +clipboard feature.

This requires the ForwardX11Trusted setting, and should only be
done with trusted servers, as this gives the server almost complete control
over your X11 session:

$ ssh -XY myhost

To make these settings persistent (so you don’t need to add -XY every time),
you could do something like this in your ~/.ssh/config:

# Do **NOT** set this globally; it gives the server complete control over
# your X11 session.
Host myhost
    ForwardX11 yes
    ForwardX11Trusted yes

Neovim

Neovim revamped the clipboard support. The built-in interface was removed and
replaced with a system that call an external utility such as xclip, xsel, or
pbcopy/pbpaste.

It should automatically pick up these utilities and use them. On OS X pbcopy
and pbpaste should be available by default, on Linux you probably want to
install xclip, as that’s the most widely available (there are actually two
versions of xsel with incompatible flags. This is really stupid).
