The OS X command "pbcopy" reads from stdin, and puts whatever it gets
onto the system clipboard. How you use it depends on how you've
selected your text. To put the entire current buffer onto the
clipboard:
:w !pbcopy
To put a range of lines onto the clipboard, use commands like:
:5,10w !pbcopy
:.,$w !pbcopy
.'a,'bw !pbcopy
:'<,'>w !pbcopy
You could also put something like this in your ~/.vimrc:
nnoremap <silent> <Leader>c :Copy<CR>
vnoremap <silent> <Leader>c :Copy<CR>
command! -range Copy call DoCopy(<line1>, <line2>)
func! DoCopy(sline, eline)
exec ':' . a:sline . ',' . a:eline . 'w !pbcopy'
redraw
echohl ModeMsg
echon "Copied lines " a:sline "-" a:eline " to system clipboard"
echohl None
endfunc
ought to let you use "\c" to copy the current line, or select some text
in Visual mode and use "\c" to select it, or simplify the lines in the
second example above to commands like:
:5,10 Copy
Others here could probably improve the VimScript above; it's not my
native tongue.
Make sense?
Cheers,
Carl
