You're awfully close, but I think you're reaching for the wrong
register. The
@"
register contains the most recent yank, not "@@". So you might try
silent exe "!echo \"" .<somehow access @@> . "\"> /dev/clipboard"
silent exe "!echo \"".(@")."\"> /dev/clipboard"
Note that you still have command injection issues here, where, if
the contents of the register have shell metacharacters in it
(with double-quotes, dollar-signs can access variables, the "!"
can end up with shell expansion, and a literal
backslash-doublequote in your register will prematurely close the
string with odd results), or if you change to using
single-quotes, you mostly only have to concern yourself with
single-quotes in the register contents.
Alternatively, you might be able to do something like
call writefile([@"], '/dev/clipboard')
or
echo writefile([@"], '/dev/clipboard')?"Failed":"Succeeded"
which should write the contents with less opportunity for
escaping issues.
