Question

Since vim doesn’t support native clipboard on OS X by default, I decided to create some keybindings to emulate it.

I started with such a command, which passes visual selection to pbcopy and replaces selection with command output. Since it has no output and just deletes text, i immediately undo the change.

:vmap c !pbcopy<CR> :undo<CR>

It works fine, but not if I’m copying the last line in the file. It is copied well, but undo doesn’t bring it back. If I manually undo later, it works fine.

Is there a way to make this binding work with on the last line as well?

Answer 1

Remove the space between the first <CR> and :undo:

:vmap c !pbcopy<CR>:undo<CR>
