I installed the fakeclip plugin. Normally, plugins are fairly
straightforward (e.g., hit the "special" key (\) or something like
that). However, the fake clip plugin says that it automatically loads
default mappings like
"+y for<Plug>(fakeclip-y)
I've tried "+y in a variety of different ways: at the ":" prompt,
while in command mode, etc. and it doesn't do anything.
I'm sure I'm just missing something.
I searched for a definition of<Plug> on the mailing list, but may not
have been looking for the right thing.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Well, with plain-vanilla Vim (without 3rd-party plugins I mean), "+y in
Visual mode yanks the selection to the clipboard, and in Normal mode it
waits for a motion (e.g. l for "one character") or an object (e.g. iw
for "inner word"); the text moved over, or the object, is then yanked to
the clipboard. In both cases you can paste it into any clipboard-aware
application, usually by means of Edit=>Paste. Anything that uses that as
the {lhs} of a mapping ought to do something similar.
I don't know what the parentheses are doing in that mapping; I would
expect a plugin-defined mapping to have a {rhs} of <Plug>fakeclip-y or
<Plug>FakeclipY but not something with parentheses in it.
<Plug> is explained in the Vim help: see
:help <Plug>
:help using-<Plug>
To see what "+y is mapped to, use (both of)
:verbose map "+y
:verbose map! "+y
Best regards,
Tony.
