Is there a way to copy vim from outside vim?

To check, run vim --version and see if +clipboard exists. If it says -clipboard, you will not be able to copy from outside of Vim. For Mac users, homebrew install Vim with the clipboard option. Install homebrew and then run brew install vim . The easiest way to make Vim more powerful is to use Vintageous in Sublime Text (version 3).

How to Copy to System Clipboard from Vim Check if we have +clipboard on our version of vim. Instead of -clipboard, we want +clipboard. Open the file with vim and copy its contents to the clipboard. Now, you can right click and paste into a text editor. I pasted the clipboard to an empty document in Sublime!
Moreover, First, make sure you're in edit mode (press i). Then you can paste with Ctrl+Shift+V, if you're in a terminal emulator like gnome-terminal (or select "Paste" from the right-click menu). You can also type :set paste in vim before you paste to disable automated indenting, etc.

Vim is a Unix text editor that's included in Linux, BSD, and macOS. It's known for being fast and efficient, in part because it's a small application that can run in a terminal (although it also has a graphical interface), but mostly because it can be controlled entirely with the keyboard with no need for menus or a mouse.

vim.cpp - additional vim c++ syntax highlighting This file contains additional syntax highlighting that I use for C++11/14/17 development in Vim. Compared to the standard syntax highlighting for C++ it adds highlighting of (user defined) functions and the containers and types in the standard library / boost.
