YankCode (neovim)

Yank code to the clipboard. Code is automatically unindented. A header is added in the form of a comment that includes the repo name, file name, and lines copied.

Instead of yanking:

    def valid?(*)
      if instance_variable_defined?(:@_interaction_valid)
        return @_interaction_valid
      end

      super
    end

You'll get:

# active_interaction: lib/active_interaction/concerns/runnable.rb (lines 48-54)
def valid?(*)
  if instance_variable_defined?(:@_interaction_valid)
    return @_interaction_valid
  end

  super
end

Now you're ready to paste it into Slack or wherever you need!

Installation

Lazy

{
  'AaronLasseigne/yank-code.nvim',
  keys = {
    { '<leader>y', ':YankCode<CR>', mode = '', desc = 'Yank Code' }
  },
  config = function()
    require('yank-code').setup()
  end
}

Usage

Use it just like you would yank!

Caveats

Adding the header relies on commentstring being set correctly. If commentstring is set to an empty string (e.g. JSON), no header will be added.

The name of the repo is the name of the git base directory. The file path is relative to that same directory. If the code is not located in git version control it will still put the name of the file and line numbers.
