Things get messy when I need to copy lines of text from vim into tmux's clipboard, especially when multiple split-windows are opened. So I created this super simple plugin, which provides seamless integration for vim and tmux's clipboard.
vim-tmux-clipboard automatically copy yanked text into tmux's clipboard, and
copy tmux's clipboard content into vim's quote("
) register, known as the unnamed
register. It also makes multiple vim processes on top of the same tmux session
act like they're sharing the same clipboard.
