Vim: [Feature request] Cut and Paste universal buffer.

[rajinder-yadav]

I would like this project to make cut and paste work like it does without the Vim plugin, right now with the plugin it uses a separate paste buffers and many times I have gotten to the point thing get so messed that I just stop using this plugin.

I want so I can cut and paste item between other windows outside of vscode. This needs to work flawlessly, right now that is not the case.

Scenario 1

For example, I highlight an area of text, and I press 'y' to yank the select text to the buffer. I then click on a another window, a text pad app. I press Ctrl+v and the copied text from vscode is pasted into the text app window.

Scenario 2

I copy text from the browser, switch into vscode and paste it by pressing 'p' paste.

Scenario 3

I copy text from vscode by visual highlighting it, then press 'd' to delete text and copy into the paste buffer. I switch to an external text app and paste the deleted text using Ctrl+V

I think you want "vim.useSystemClipboard": true,? It sets the system clipboard to be the default clipboard for yanking and putting.

alternatively, you can use "+y and "+p to copy and paste from the system clipboard

" is used to define the buffer to use for y and p
and + is the system clipboard

I am going to close this for now since I think you were just missing the useSystemClipboard setting

Feel free to reopen if I misunderstand something
