# Allow Neovim To Copy/Paste With System Clipboard
|
|
|
|
By default, Neovim uses some internal registers for managing the values that
|
|
have been copied (`y`) and what should be pasted (`p`). These registers are
|
|
independent from the system clipboard, so a value copied from the browser will
|
|
not show up when you hit `p` in Neovim (or Vim).
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to create a more seamless and cohesive copy/paste experience for
|
|
yourself, you can instruct Neovim to read from and write to the system
|
|
clipboard when copy/paste actions happen.
|
|
|
|
This is accomplished with a `provider` that instructs Neovim to use the system
|
|
clipboard directly for all copy/paste operations.
|
|
|
|
```vimscript
|
|
" ~/.vimrc
|
|
set clipboard+=unnamedplus
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Setting the `clipboard` option to include `unnamedplus` enables that provider
|
|
"which transparently uses shell commands to communicate with the system
|
|
clipboard or any other clipboard 'backend'." So, for Mac, `pbcopy` and
|
|
`pbpaste`.
|
|
|
|
See `:h provider-clipboard` for more details.
