When I launch code from tmux on macos it breaks a few key bindings like dd .
keep in mind that when launching it from tmux on linux(ubuntu) it works perfectly fine.

To Reproduce :

just launch code from tmux and try to delete a line dd .

I use tmux on my macos all the time, and haven't ever seen this. Will need to get more info. What other keybindings break?

Is this possibly related? The library we use for clipboards uses pbcopy and pbpaste I believe

I ran into possibly the same issue with dd, yy, and others not working, but for me it happens if I have "vim.useSystemClipboard": true, regardless of whether I launch from tmux or run Visual Studio Code.app directly.

@njurgens yes that's the same issue I am having .

I just ran into the same issue as well on Linux. With "vim.useSystemClipboard": true,, dd, x, etc. aren't working for me.

(I have it on because I share the same config between my OS X and Linux installation.)

I am having this same issue. ciw also doesn't work. it seems to run into some sort of error whenever you do something that interacts with the clipboard. It looks like its failing and then stopping the command.

I run on ubuntu 16.04 in xfce/i3 and I can't turn on "vim.useSystemClipboard" because of this.

Update I found the error message.

Looks like the extension depends on xsel. This is not documented and the extension does not include it.

Error: Couldn't find the required `xsel` binary. On Debian/Ubuntu you can install it with: sudo apt install xsel
