I can't repro this. Same VSCode/Vim/MacOS versions. Tried yy and cmd+c.

[johnfn]

Curiously I can reproduce it just fine on 0.6.5

macOS：10.12.3
vscode： 1.10.2 (1.10.2)
VSCodeVim：0.6.5
if I select some chinese or japanese words, press [command + c], and then [command + v], pasted nothing. But english words is ok.
And if I disable the plugin, everything is ok.

Actually, it happens for every non Latin1 characters, for ex: • (which is Opt+8 on Mac), will become • in clipboard.

@jpoon I meet with this case, too. After copy(⌘-c) 中国, paste(⌘-v) 中 instead. But it's ok when using Edit -> Copy and Edit -> Paste.

• VSCode is 1.10.2 8076a19fdcab7e1fc1707952d652f0bb6c6db331 2017-03-08T13:54:01.558Z.
• OS is macOS Sierra 10.12.3.
• VSCodeVim is 0.6.10.

I don't modify the default settings of VSCodeVim, only just Keyboard Shortcuts as follows.

{ "key": "ctrl+x", "command": "editor.action.clipboardCutAction", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
{ "key": "ctrl+c", "command": "editor.action.clipboardCopyAction", "when": "editorTextFocus" },
{ "key": "ctrl+v", "command": "editor.action.clipboardPasteAction", "when": "editorTextFocus" }

When disabled VSCodeVim, it works, but not when enabled it.

Same case like @xgfone

[johnfn]

Until we fix this, the workaround is simply to put "vim. overrideCopy": false into your preferences json file.

[yunkai]

Same problem to me.

The messy words only happen when using ⌘-c then ⌘-v, but it's ok when using Edit->Copy then Edit->Paste。

MacOS，VSCodeVim 0.6.14

[breestealth]

Same Problem for me.

• VSCode is 1.11.1
• OS is macOS 10.11.6
• VSCodeVim is 0.6.15

[xconverge]

This is happening due to the library we use to access the system clipboard, I will see if there is a different library we can try

[naiteluo]

same problem, looking forward to the update fix

[xconverge]

Next release should have this fixed for macOs and Linux, windows is still a work in progress

[xconverge]

fixed on master
