I’ve used this neovim keybind for years:
vim.keymap.set({'n', 'x'}, 'gy', '"+y') -- copy
vim.keymap.set({'n', 'x'}, 'gp', '"+p') -- paste
I was able to copy/paste between nvim and other applications on sway, Hyprland, Niri and KDE on Wayland.
The global clipboard register + should also work in modern regular vim afaik.


I feel like Windows 11 is just another Microsoft “Windows moment”.
