description

Paste text from the current document onto a public pastebin or board.  This implementation is written in vim to reduce external dependencies to Python or Perl.  The only external dependency is cURL (e.g. /usr/bin/curl in UNIX-like systems) as an HTTP posting tool.  This posting tool, and all its command line parameters are configurable by the user. Features: * Pastes to any pastebin with a public API * The end-user's nick is configurable per use, or via .vimrc * Sends syntax highlighting information if the target supports it * Uses standard vim range commands for its use * Copies the URL where the text was pasted to the system clipboard and the   status line * Opens a web browser at the page where the paste was posted (v1.2) Usage Install paster.vim to the appropriate default vim scripts directory for your configuration, normally $HOME/.vim/plugin Once installed, the Paste[bin] command may be invoked in any of these patterns: - :.Paste -- paste the current line - :%Paste -- paste the entire document - :42,69Paste -- paste lines 42 through 69, inclusive The Paste command will work with selections made in visual mode as well. Paste will prompt for a value if the user hasn't defined a /nick or ID prior to the command's first invocation. Upon successful completion, Paste will display the URL to the paste.  Paste will also copy it to the window manager's clipboard under MacVim and gvim.
