From d4f9716fbc36bc20848b7be0b65551495fa52952 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Davis Date: Tue, 11 Jul 2023 11:15:38 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add yank_to_clipboard commands, bind to `y` by default The clipboard special registers are able to retain multiple selections and also join the value when copying it to the clipboard. So by default we should yank regularly to the '*' and '+' registers. That will have the same behavior for the clipboards but will allow pasting multiple selections if the clipboard doesn't change between yanks. --- book/src/keymap.md | 2 +- helix-term/src/commands.rs | 12 ++++++++++++ helix-term/src/keymap/default.rs | 2 +- 3 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/book/src/keymap.md b/book/src/keymap.md index 153f3b64..5dc467f2 100644 --- a/book/src/keymap.md +++ b/book/src/keymap.md @@ -291,7 +291,7 @@ This layer is a kludge of mappings, mostly pickers. | `w` | Enter [window mode](#window-mode) | N/A | | `p` | Paste system clipboard after selections | `paste_clipboard_after` | | `P` | Paste system clipboard before selections | `paste_clipboard_before` | -| `y` | Join and yank selections to clipboard | `yank_joined_to_clipboard` | +| `y` | Yank selections to clipboard | `yank_to_clipboard` | | `Y` | Yank main selection to clipboard | `yank_main_selection_to_clipboard` | | `R` | Replace selections by clipboard contents | `replace_selections_with_clipboard` | | `/` | Global search in workspace folder | `global_search` | diff --git a/helix-term/src/commands.rs b/helix-term/src/commands.rs index 21e2933f..bf60ad71 100644 --- a/helix-term/src/commands.rs +++ b/helix-term/src/commands.rs @@ -375,6 +375,8 @@ impl MappableCommand { later, "Move forward in history", commit_undo_checkpoint, "Commit changes to new checkpoint", yank, "Yank selection", + yank_to_clipboard, "Yank selections to clipboard", + yank_to_primary_clipboard, "Yank selections to primary clipboard", yank_joined, "Join and yank selections", yank_joined_to_clipboard, "Join and yank selections to clipboard", yank_main_selection_to_clipboard, "Yank main selection to clipboard", @@ -3762,6 +3764,16 @@ fn yank(cx: &mut Context) { exit_select_mode(cx); } +fn yank_to_clipboard(cx: &mut Context) { + yank_impl(cx.editor, '*'); + exit_select_mode(cx); +} + +fn yank_to_primary_clipboard(cx: &mut Context) { + yank_impl(cx.editor, '+'); + exit_select_mode(cx); +} + fn yank_impl(editor: &mut Editor, register: char) { let (view, doc) = current!(editor); let text = doc.text().slice(..); diff --git a/helix-term/src/keymap/default.rs b/helix-term/src/keymap/default.rs index c84c616c..37983352 100644 --- a/helix-term/src/keymap/default.rs +++ b/helix-term/src/keymap/default.rs @@ -265,7 +265,7 @@ pub fn default() -> HashMap { "C-v" | "v" => vsplit_new, }, }, - "y" => yank_joined_to_clipboard, + "y" => yank_to_clipboard, "Y" => yank_main_selection_to_clipboard, "p" => paste_clipboard_after, "P" => paste_clipboard_before,
