Description

This is Neovim clipboard provider. It allows to access system clipboard without any extra tools, such as win32yank, xclip, xsel, pbcopy, pbpaste and so on.

Read :h provider-clipboard for more information on Neovim clipboard integration.

Installation

First, fetch the plugin using any plugin manager you like, or simply clone it with git under your packages directory tree, see :h packages.

An example assuming you have minpac:

1. Add to your init.vim

    call minpac#init()
    call minpac#add('matveyt/neoclip', #{type: 'opt'})
    "... more plugins to follow

    if has('nvim')
        packadd! neoclip
        lua require"neoclip":setup()
    endif

2. Save the file and reload configuration

    :update | source %

3. Update the plugin from network repository

    :call minpac#update('neoclip')

Next, drop to your shell and compile platform-dependent module from source.

4. Compiling

    $ cd ~/.config/nvim/pack/minpac/start/neoclip/src

    $ # by CMake
    $ cmake -B build
    $ cmake --build build
    $ cmake --install build --strip

    $ # ..or by Meson
    $ meson setup build
    $ meson install -C build --strip

5. Run Neovim again and see if it's all right

    :checkhealth neoclip

Compatibility and other troubles

Currently Neoclip should run on Windows, macOS and all the various *nix'es (with X11 and/or Wayland display server). See :h neoclip-build to get more information on build dependencies. See :h neoclip-issues for a list of known issues.
