vim-clip-expand-path 👣

Two commands to copy current file's path to system clipboard.

Requirements

None. Uses pbcopy on macOS, and xclip on Linux.

Commands

Use <leader>j and <leader>J to copy the current file path:

• <leader>j — Copies path relative to Git project root

  • E.g., doc/vim-clip-expand-path.txt

• <leader>J — Copies full path, using tilde for user home

  • E.g., ~/.vim/pack/DepoXy/start/vim-clip-expand-path/doc/vim-clip-expand-path.txt

INSTALL

Installation is easy using Vim's packages feature (see :help packages).

If you want the plugin to load automatically on Vim startup, use a start/ directory, e.g.,

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/landonb/start

And then clone the project to that path:

cd ~/.vim/pack/landonb/start
git clone https://github.com/landonb/vim-clip-expand-path.git

If you want to test the package first, make it optional instead (see :help pack-add):

mkdir -p ~/.vim/pack/landonb/opt
cd ~/.vim/pack/landonb/opt
git clone https://github.com/landonb/vim-clip-expand-path.git

" When ready, load the [opt]ional plugin (or is it [opt]-in?).
:packadd! vim-clip-expand-path

To build the help, ensure the plugin is loaded, and then run the following command just one time from within Vim:

:Helptags

Or, you can build the help from the terminal instead. Run:

vim -u NONE -c "helptags vim-clip-expand-path/doc" -c q

And then to view the help from within Vim, run:

:help vim-clip-expand-path
