p<c-p> in Neovim

[coachshea]

I had a similar issue approximately two years ago and you were able to help me. I have since switched to neovim and the (almost identical) issue has recurred, but the previous solution isn't working.

Basically, after I paste text, I hit <c-p> and nothing happens. If I type <c-p> again, I get the message, "last action was not paste, swap ignored." I have tried removing all plugins except vim-easyclip (and also all but vim-easyclip and vim-repeat) and the same thing happens. I have tried it in vim (with all plugins enabled) and it still works, so I can only assume that it is a Neovim issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.

After some more digging, I found a very odd behavior that might shed some light on the issue. I was curious as to why I only got the message on the second press of <c-p>, so I started hitting it once and then pressing 'p' again. It appears that the first press of <c-p> (and <c-n>) is behaving as [y and ]y are supposed to act (if mapped, which mine aren't). Why this is happening and why it is only happening on the first press is a mystery to me, but I hope that might shed some light on the issue. Thanks again for all your help and for this great plugin.

Hi,

I'm having the same problem. Although I am using vim not neovim.
My vim --version. I tested with both 7.4 and 8.0
https://pastebin.com/6rPYYhz6

My vimrc file:

silent! call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'svermeulen/vim-easyclip' | Plug 'tpope/vim-repeat'
filetype plugin indent on
call plug#end()

Also, another weird behaivour, that might not be related. If you do p<c-p> it acts like [y as @coachshea said. But if you paste more then two times, the old 'value' comes back.

Example File:

A
B
C

Commands executed (cursor starts in first line):

yy
j
yy
j
yy
p<c-p><c-p>
p
p
p

File after commands with vim outputs:

A
B
C
C ' On first <c-p> outputs: 1 line less; before #33 0 seconds ago
  ' On second <c-p> outputs: Last action was not paste, swap ignored
B
B
C

Setting let g:EasyClipUsePasteDefaults = 0 fixed it for me

[coachshea]

That turns of the feature completely for me.

I am having the same exact issue. I cannot toggle through my yanks. I'm having the same behavior as described by the OP's first post here. I'm using vim 8.

[mg979]

Same here, yank cycling doesn't work at all. Vim 8.

[sassanh]

It doesn't work on my NeoVim too.

[philFernandez]

I just want to report that I've switched branches from the master branch to the YankRingStyleSwap branch. Everything seems to be working perfectly for me on Vim8 using this branch, including yank cycling.

[sassanh]

That branch is last updated in 2013, you could checkout an early commit in master branch and it should work too. I'm pretty sure the problem didn't exist few month ago.

[philFernandez]

Thanks for the heads up. I'm testing the YankRingStyleSwap branch right now, and it's working perfectly. If it starts giving me problems I'll give your suggestion a try. Thanks

I'm also having this problem on neovim

[svermeulen]

I'll take a look at this when I upgrade to neovim next month, but if anyone wants to help in the meantime that would be great

[ltratt]

I can confirm this problem still exists; the YankRingStyleSwap branch doesn't really work well any more (it causes extra text to be pasted from time to time).

[svermeulen]

Ok I finally migrated to neovim. As stated now at the top of the readme, easyclip is being split up into three new plugins that target Vim 8 / Neovim, including one with the yank swapping functionality working again (nvim-yoink)

[Herz3h]

It would be nice to emphasize that (the plugins splits) even more on the readme imo. I had the same problem as in the issue, and spent some time trying different options in my vimrc until I found this.
