 2 | # vim-tmux-clipboard
 3 | 
 4 | Things get messy when I need to copy lines of text from vim into tmux's
 5 | clipboard, especially when multiple split-windows are opened. So I created this
 6 | super simple plugin, which provides seamless integration for vim and tmux's
 7 | clipboard.
 8 | 
 9 | 
10 | vim-tmux-clipboard automatically copy yanked text into tmux's clipboard, and
11 | copy tmux's clipboard content into vim's quote(`"`) register, known as the unnamed
12 | register. It also makes multiple vim processes on top of the same tmux session
13 | act like they're sharing the same clipboard.
14 | 
15 | 
16 | ## Requirements
17 | 
18 | - add `set -g focus-events on` to your `tmux.conf`.
19 | - [vim-tmux-focus-events](https://github.com/tmux-plugins/vim-tmux-focus-events) for vim users.
20 | - [neovim](https://github.com/neovim/neovim) or vim above 8.0.1394 is
21 |   recommended for `TextYankPost` event, which is required for `It also makes
22 |   multiple vim processes on top of the same tmux session act like they're
23 |   sharing the same clipboard`.
