Clipboard integration for Kakoune

kakboard's Issues

Performance improvement

kakboard/kakboard.kak

Lines 153 to 158 in 4cc87b2

	while test $# -gt 0; do
	escaped=$(echo "$1" | sed -e 's/</<lt>/')
	echo map global normal "$1" \
	"': kakboard-with-pull-clipboard $escaped<ret>'"
	shift
	done

This and the next loop add about 50ms total to startup time. If we define these commands manually using map: str-list kakboard_paste_keys p P R <a-p> <a-P> <a-R> then it goes down to under 5ms.

I'm not asking for anything in particular, but this might be useful to someone.

My config for reference:

set global kakboard_copy_cmd 'xclip -in -selection clipboard'
set global kakboard_paste_cmd 'xclip -out -selection clipboard'

map global normal y ': kakboard-with-push-clipboard y<ret>'
map global normal c ': kakboard-with-push-clipboard c<ret>'
map global normal d ': kakboard-with-push-clipboard d<ret>'

map global normal p ': kakboard-with-pull-clipboard p<ret>'
map global normal P ': kakboard-with-pull-clipboard P<ret>'
map global normal R ': kakboard-with-pull-clipboard R<ret>'

kakboard_copy_keys not working as expected

Hi!

I don't like that Kakoune set " register when executing d and c keys. It's counter intuitive to me and, as such, quite annoying. It's a behaviour I don't understand Kakoune ported from vi. So, I have the following mappings:

map global normal <a-d> d
map global normal d <a-d>
map global normal c <a-c>

It's a personal preference, so it's OK if you don't like it.

If I have this plugin disabled, these mappings work well. But obviously they don't work with the plugin enabled. So, I tried to set kakboard_copy_keys like this:

set-option global kakboard_copy_keys <a-d> y

Pressing y works as expected, but nothing is copied to clipboard when pressing <a-d>. How can I make <a-d> copies to clipboard?

kakboard inserts unneeded newlines on Wayland

Using GNOME on Fedora 32. Every time I do a copy from Firefox, and paste it into kakoune, kakboard inserts unneeded newlines. Here is a picture showing this:

Seems to only occur when copying from Wayland applications, text copied from Xwayland applications don't behave this way.

Kakboard fails on Wayland

Hi! I'm on Ubuntu running Gnome inside a Wayland session, with wl-clipboard installed. Any attempt to copy to clipboard or paste from it fails. If, for instance, I try to copy something from Kakoune, the following message appears on the *debug* buffer:

shell stderr: <<<
Failed to connect to a Wayland server
>>>

On the other hand, if I run wl-copy something manually from a terminal, it just works.

Can it be, perhaps, a configuration issue?

Thanks in advance.

Breaks yanking/pasting multiple selections

Only the last selection is pasted, even with <a-p>.

MacOS pasting inserts unnecessary newlines

I use MacOS with pbcopy/pbpaste combination. No matter if I copy the whole line with a linefeed or just a fragment of a line, when I paste, it inserts it on the line after or line before, not at the place of my cursor.

I guess it has something to do with automatic changing behaviour when a copied line contains a linefeed https://github.com/mawww/kakoune/wiki/Registers---Clipboard#linewise-vs-characterwise

But from my testing this is not the case (assuming I copied a fragment of a line):

• Inserting with cmd+v inside Kakoune in insert mode inserts correctly
• :echo %reg{"} correctly outputs this register without linefeed at the end
• ! pbpaste and <alt-!> pbpaste correctly inserts a fragment on the same line

Automatically enabling kakboard

Hello!

I'm having a problem with enabling kakboard on startup. When I add kakboard-enable to kakrc, I get the following error:

~/.config/kak/kakrc:2:1: 'kakboard-enable' 2:5: 'set-option' no window in context
/usr/share/kak/kakrc:28:1: 'evaluate-commands' 107:1: 'source' 2:1: 'kakboard-enable' 2:5: 'set-option' no window in context
error while parsing kakrc:
    1:1: 'source' 28:1: 'evaluate-commands' 107:1: 'source' 2:1: 'kakboard-enable' 2:5: 'set-option' no window in context

Setting the declare-option -hidden bool kakboard_enabled option from false to true in kakboard.kak makes no discernible difference either (if it's supposed to make any).

Note that I installed kakboard manually without the plugin manager.
