copy paste text to clipboard

vim

Use:

:%y+

to yank all lines.

Explanation:

% to refer the next command to work on all the lines
y to yank those lines
+ to copy to the system clipboard

On builds that support it, the register named * is the system clipboard. To copy text from Vim to the system clipboard, you can select the text using visual mode, then press "*y to copy it to the system clipboard.

Conversely, use "*p to paste text from the system clipboard into Vim.
