Option clipboard=unnamed ignored on Neovim

[gustavo-hms]

I have both Vim and Neovim configured with “set clipboard=unnamed”. It works as expected for both Vim and Neovim: if I yank something on (Neo)Vim, it is placed in the * register; also, if I copy something on another program, again the * register is updated. When I paste something without specifying a register, the content of the * register is used.

Nevertheless, if I enable the Easyclip plugin on Neovim, the “clipboard=unnamed” option starts to be ignored completely. All unnamed operations start to use the " register, not the * one. Vim remains working though.

I'm not sure if this problem should be issued here or on Neovim repository. But the oddity is that it's only happening when Easyclip is enabled on Neovim.

Guess I'll have to finally give neovim a go to see what's going on there. I use "clipboard=unnamed" as well. Thanks for the report.

[gustavo-hms]

Great! Thanks
If you need more info, don't hesitate to ask

[lazywei]

will it work with clipboard=unnamedplus?

[gustavo-hms]

No, it doesn't. Same behaviour as before.

Does anyone have an idea about this? I miss easyclip in my setup!

I work primarily on windows so I can't debug this issue yet. clipboard=unnamed doesn't even work yet on windows in neovim so I am blocked (details here) If somebody else wants to take a look in the meantime, I accept pull requests :)

Ah, okay. I'd love to fix it but I have a lot to learn about vim plugins
just to get started. I might take a look if I have time someday - any clues
to where in the code the problem might lie?

Can this issue be related to: neovim/neovim#3141?

[jsborjesson]

Could be, they might have made the setting backwards incompatible in some
way, hopefully it will just start working if they fix that

I took a brief look at this on a ubuntu virtualbox, and it looks like easyclip is doing things correctly with clipboard=unnamed. It seems very likely that it's related to neovim/neovim#3141

[simonweil]

neovim/neovim#3141 has been merged.
Does this issue still exist with neovim head?

[gustavo-hms]

I’ve just updated my neovim installation and it seems to be working now. I thing this issue can be closed.

[jsborjesson]

I can confirm, awesome!
