Vim-WSL-Copy-Paste

This Vim plug-in adds mappings in WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) to write and read on the Microsoft Windows clipboard (c):

  • to copy (yank) to the Windows clipboard by

    • cy (followed by a text object), cY (yank from cursor to end of line) and cyy (yank the whole line) in normal mode
    • Y in visual mode

  • to paste from the Windows clipboard by

    • cp and cP (copy to the line before or after the cursor line) in normal mode
    • P in visual mode

Relies on vim-repeat for repeatability by the . command.
