Can't copy text in Vim binding mode

[IzumiSy]

I can't copy any texts in Vim mode, because Ctrl + C is used in Vim binding to change edit mode. However, yank also does not share its data with system clipboard, so I cannot copy any texts and paste it outside of Boostnote. Any idea to solve this issue?

In my case, always when I want to copy texts on Boostnote, I change keybindings from Vim to default. This is too bothering, but no way out.

Hi @IzumiSy ,
This is a good point. I'm not using Vim mode, but I want to improve it.

Just idea:
1, Allow right click in editor and make copy / paste possible.
2, Allow key setting for copy / paste.

BTW, how about Finder or Copy at codeblock?

• Finder
  

• Copy at codeblock

Thanks for replying.

1. Allow right click in editor and make copy / paste possible
2. Allow key setting for copy / paste.

Cool if one of those two is possible, but how do I achieve that from settings? (Or would it be a future implmentation? nice too!)

how about Finder

My machine is Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity. I am not sure if my environment affects in some bad ways or not, but I can't open Finder. This pic is my hotkey preference which does not work. Is this a bug?

For further information, it looks I am getting no error.

Copy at codeblock

This is working nicely! but what almost always I want to do is to copy a whole text, of course not actually always though.

The solutions I hit upon are below:

1. Delete Ctrl-C from vim keybindings and alter it to copy
2. Change as to copy into clipboard on yank
3. Implement customizable keybindings

You know, No.3 is the best. But it's also another issue and takes much time.
The easiest way is No.1 but it affects users who use Ctrl-C so I'm reluctant to implement it.
I believe No.2 is the most inexpensive way in this moment but it's a bit difficult to notice.

1. Delete Ctrl-C from vim keybindings and alter it to copy

This might not be a good choice, because I am the heavy user of Ctrl + C in Vim to exit insert mode. I really don't want to take this out.

2. Change as to copy into clipboard on yank.

This is exactly what I myself want to have in Boostnote. The best one.

How about this?
https://github.com/asmsuechan/Boostnote/pull/6

It's another way.
4. Add copy feature into the existing shortcut
