# vim-tmux-clipboard

Things get messy when I need to copy lines of text from vim into tmux's

clipboard, especially when multiple split-windows are opened. So I created this

super simple plugin, which provides seamless integration for vim and tmux's

clipboard.

vim-tmux-clipboard automatically copy yanked text into tmux's clipboard, and

copy tmux's clipboard content into vim's quote(`"`) register, known as the unnamed

register. It also makes multiple vim processes on top of the same tmux session

act like they're sharing the same clipboard.

## Requirements

- add `set -g focus-events on` to your `tmux.conf`.

- [vim-tmux-focus-events](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/vim-tmux-focus-events) for vim users.

- [neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim) or vim above 8.0.1394 is

  recommended for `TextYankPost` event, which is required for `It also makes

  multiple vim processes on top of the same tmux session act like they're

  sharing the same clipboard`.

## Options

- `g:vim_tmux_clipboard#loadb_option` see [#20](https://github.com/roxma/vim-tmux-clipboard/pull/20)
