I recently started using the :yank, :copy and :move commands (as opposed
to doing the equivalent operations in normal mode).
Now say I have two windows open on distinct files. If my cursor is in
window A, is there any way to :yank a line from window B without having
to move my cursor to window B?
Thanks for any input,
I don't think so, but the following mappings may help you:
" go to next window (round-robin)
map <F11> <C-W>w
imap <F11> <C-O><C-W>w
" go to previous window (round-robin)
map <S-F11> <C-W>W
imap <S-F11> <C-O><C-W>W
" with count, and in Normal mode only, either of the above goes
" to nth window from top
Or if you know which lines to yank (let's say as the contents of some
variables or the result of some expressions) you could write a function
to go to the next window and come back:
func YankFromNext() range
wincmd w
exe a:firstline . ',' . a:lastline . 'y'
wincmd W
endfunc
and call that function in any script or mapping needing it.
Best regards,
Tony.
