description
*fakeclip* is a Vim plugin to provide a pseudo |clipboard| register for
several versions of Vim without |+clipboard| support, especially for non-GUI
version of Vim on the following platforms:

- Cygwin
- Mac OS X
- X Window System (by xclip <http://sourceforge.net/projects/xclip/>)


fakeclip
also provides a pseudo register to access a "paste buffer" if one of
the following applications is available:

- GNU screen
- tmux


FAQ: If you can't copy/paste multibyte characters with the clipboard
     on Mac OS X, see |fakeclip-multibyte-on-mac|.

Note for Mac OS users: Though Vim supports clipboard for the console version
since version 7.3, fakeclip is still useful to access a "paste buffer".


Requirements:
- Vim 7.0 or later

vim-fakeclip-0.2.10.zip 0.2.10 2012-01-21 7.0 Kana Natsuno - Improve the detection of terminal multiplexers.  In other words, (a) use a more suitable one according to the current environment; (b) support using the pastebuffer from Vim not in a tmux session.  See also |g:fakeclip_terminal_multiplexer_type| for the details.  (Thanks m4i for reporting the problem via https://github.com/kana/vim-fakeclip/pull/5)
vim-fakeclip-0.2.9.zip 0.2.9 2011-10-07 7.0 Kana Natsuno - Add support for |d|, |dd| and |D| operation for the clipboard and the pastebuffer.  (Thanks for Suan-Aik Yeo)
vim-fakeclip-0.2.8.zip 0.2.8 2010-08-31 7.0 Kana Natsuno - |:FakeclipDefaultKeyMappings|: Fix to regard a given bang.
vim-fakeclip-0.2.7.zip 0.2.7 2010-04-02 7.0 Kana Natsuno - Fix to read/write the paste buffer of GNU screen outside a session.  Old versions allow to read/write the paste buffer only if Vim is running in a session of GNU screen.
vim-fakeclip-0.2.6.zip 0.2.6 2009-11-16 7.0 Kana Natsuno - Fix improper error message on putting to paste buffer.  (Thanks to @thinca for reporting)
- Fix a bug that there is a possibility to fail to read the paste buffer of GNU screen if it is emptied by "register . ''".  (Thanks to @thinca for reporting)
- Revise for race condition problem to read the paste buffer of GNU screen, though it's not perfect yet.
vim-fakeclip-0.2.5.zip 0.2.5 2009-11-11 7.0 Kana Natsuno - Revise the way to detect whether GNU screen is available or not.

vim-fakeclip-0.2.4.zip 0.2.4 2009-06-13 7.0 Kana Natsuno - Revise on platforms where |+clipboard| is available:
  - Define all stuffs such as |fakeclip-key-mappings| on all platforms.  Without this, the pseudo register for GNU screen's paste buffer is not available if |+clipboard| is available.
  - |:FakeclipDefaultKeyMappings|: Don't define the default key mappings for clipboard to avoid confusion with the built-in key mappings.  For example, "*y and "+y are not mapped to |<Plug>(fakeclip-y)|.
vim-fakeclip-0.2.3.zip 0.2.3 2009-05-05 7.0 Kana Natsuno - Revise the documents on Mac OS X specific problems.  See |fakeclip-multibyte-on-mac| if you can't copy/paste with the clipboard on Mac OS X.

vim-fakeclip-0.2.2.zip 0.2.2 2009-03-25 7.0 Kana Natsuno - Add equivalents for the following commands: |]p|, |]P|, |[p|, |[P|, |i_CTRL-R_CTRL-R|, |i_CTRL-R_CTRL-O|, |i_CTRL-R_CTRL-P|, |c_CTRL-R_CTRL-R|, |c_CTRL-R_CTRL-O|.
- Fix the way to detect the current platform.  For Mac OS X, it depended on some assumptions.  Thanks for someone who wrote about this bug at the Vim Tips Wiki.
