I understand how to copy lines inside vim to use in vim, but whenever I try pasting the code anywhere else outside my terminal it pastes a previous copy that was not done in the terminal.

I have been searching past questions on here about this, but none of them seemed to work or be what I was looking for.

You try with the standart Ctrl + C. In my case, when i copy from a terminal (not vim) i do it with Ctrl + Shift + C.

  • I am on a Mac and when I am in vim I highlight the the lines and use Command + C. When I use Command + V in a Google Doc it pastes the contents that I previously copied outside of the terminal/vim. I have never been able to copy anything from my terminal or vim. – Nathan428 Feb 01 '23 at 20:38
  • @Nathan428 - That is the kind of information that should be included in your original post . – ryyker Feb 01 '23 at 20:51

On MacOS while in terminal if you go to view then uncheck "Allow Mouse Reporting" you will be able to copy/paste any lines to your systems clipboard.

Make sure to recheck this after your done or else the terminal acts weird when going into vim.
