INTRODUCTION *yankstack-introduction*
|
|
|
|
[Yankstack.vim](https://github.com/maxbrunsfeld/vim-yankstack) is a
|
|
lightweight implementation of the Emacs 'kill ring' for Vim. It allows you to
|
|
yank and delete things without worrying about losing the text that you yanked
|
|
previously. It effectively turns your default register into a stack, and lets
|
|
you cycle through the items in the stack after doing a paste.
|
|
|
|
This plugin is intended to be a simpler alternative to the {Yankring} plugin
|
|
(https://github.com/chrismetcalf/vim-yankring).
|
|
|
|
INSTALLATION *yankstack-installation*
|
|
|
|
I recommend loading your plugins with {Pathogen}
|
|
(https://github.com/tpope/vim-pathogen), so you can just clone this repo into
|
|
your "bundle" directory.
|
|
|
|
KEY MAPPINGS *yankstack-mappings*
|
|
|
|
By default, yankstack adds only 2 key mappings, in normal and visual modes:
|
|
|
|
Mapping Action ~
|
|
meta-p cycle backward through your history of yanks
|
|
meta-shift-p cycle forwards through your history of yanks
|
|
|
|
After pasting some text using |p| or |P|, you can cycle through your
|
|
yank history using these commands.
|
|
|
|
Typing either of these keys without pasting first will do a normal paste
|
|
(the same as typing `p`). This also works in insert mode.
|
|
|
|
A note about the meta key - if you're using MacVim, and you want to use
|
|
this plugin's default key bindings (or any bindings involving the `option`
|
|
key), you must :set |macmeta|.
|
|
|
|
COMMANDS *yankstack-commands*
|
|
|
|
You can see the contents of the yank-stack using the :Yanks command.
|
|
Its output is similar to the |registers| command. >
|
|
|
|
:Yanks (lists the contents of the yank-stack)
|
|
|
|
CONFIGURATION *yankstack-configuration*
|
|
|
|
If you want to load yankstack without defining any of the default key
|
|
mappings, just add >
|
|
|
|
let g:yankstack_map_keys = 0
|
|
|
|
to your |.vimrc| file.
|
|
|
|
Yankstack defines three plugin mappings that you can map to keys of your
|
|
choosing. The same mappings work in normal and insert modes.
|
|
|
|
Mapping Name Action ~
|
|
<Plug>yankstack_substitute_older_paste cycle BACKWARDs through your history of yanks
|
|
<Plug>yankstack_substitute_newer_paste cycle FORWARDS through your history of yanks
|
|
|
|
For example, if you wanted to define some mappings based on your |leader| key, you could do this: >
|
|
|
|
nmap <leader>p <Plug>yankstack_substitute_older_paste
|
|
nmap <leader>P <Plug>yankstack_substitute_newer_paste
|
|
|
|
|
|
COMPATIBILITY *yankstack-compatibility*
|
|
|
|
Yankstack works by mapping the yank and paste keys to functions that do some
|
|
book-keeping before calling through to the normal yank/paste keys. You may
|
|
want to define your own mappings of the yank and paste keys. For example, I
|
|
like to map the |Y| key to "y$", so that it behaves the same as |D| and |C|.
|
|
The yankstack mappings need to happen **BEFORE** you define any such
|
|
mappings of your own. To achieve this, just call 'yankstack#setup()'in your
|
|
|vimrc|, before defining your mappings: >
|
|
|
|
call yankstack#setup()
|
|
nmap Y y$

CHANGELOG *yankstack-changelog*
|
|
|
|
1.0.5 (2012-07-19)
|
|

|
|
paste was created.
|
|
|
|
1.0.4 (2012-07-01)
|
|
- Make it so that yankstack-cycling keys cause a normal paste if they are
|
|
used without pasting first. Fix stack-cycling in insert-mode.
|
|
|
|
1.0.3 (2012-05-04):
|
|

|
|
mode
|
