Is it somehow possible with :g// to copy only the
matched parts of lines as with the -o option of grep?
Not elegantly, but it can be done:
:let @a=''|g/pattern/let @a=@a." ".matchstr(getline('.'), @/)
Thought: Could the part after the second slash somehow be wrapped
into a command and/or a function?
:let @a=''|g/pattern/Gather(@a,"\n")
but can you pass around a register like that?
(you can change the joining string from " " to "\n" if you want each
match on its own line in the gathered results)
This will accumulate the matches in register "a" for your pasting
pleasure.
It will only do the first match, as you'd have to better define the
behavior you want if there are multiple matches on the same line.
I think I sometimes would want them all, sometimes only the first.
