For example, I routinely copy-paste my passwords from KeePass, and I have disabled all clipboard management to avoid copies of my passwords lingering around.
To all of you who stopped worrying thanks to a clipboard manager, how do you handle sensitive contents in your clipboard? For example, I routinely copy-paste my passwords from KeePass, and I have disabled all clipboard management to avoid copies of my passwords lingering around.
Unify your vim clipboard with the system clipboard, they said. The integration is wonderful, they said. Well: 1/ copy URL from browser 2/ alt tab to vim notes 3/ delete old URL from notes 4/ paste new URL but get the old URL instead?! How do I do the FORTH equivalent of swapping the two items on the top of the stack (and have a stack in the first place)? :)
To paste the copied URL instead of the deleted one, you can paste from the 0 register by using "0p.
Otherwise, depending on your system, pasting from the * or + registers (using "*p or "+p) will paste what you copied from the browser.

After reading this my mind went to the same place of viewing the clipboard as a stack. Wonder if that’s possible system-wide. One solution I have in vim which I always forget to use is adding an additional d or p to use a secondary paste buffer: vnoremap dd "ad nnoremap ddd "add nnoremap pp "ap
:[range]m[ove] {address}
vnoremap :m '>+1gv=gv
vnoremap :m 'gv=gv
inoremap :m .+1==gi
inoremap :m .-2==gi
nnoremap j :m .+1==
nnoremap k :m .-2==To all of you who stopped worrying thanks to a clipboard manager, how do you handle sensitive contents in your clipboard? For example, I routinely copy-paste my passwords from KeePass, and I have disabled all clipboard management to avoid copies of my passwords lingering around.
I stopped worrying about it when I installed the Ditto clipboard Manager[0]. It keeps everything, so don't have to keep track of what I copied in my short term memory. I offloaded that task to the computer. Turns out they're good at that kind of thing. I wrote about it back in 2016 on my very ugly website: https://www.tidbitsfortechs.com/2016/02/clipboard-manager/ [0] https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/

The irrational part comes in when it's time for me to make the tweaks. Maybe I'm working on a yaml config file, and I need to specify two objects that are mostly the same, with minor changes to one of them.
I'll make sure I'm working on "the copy", and not "the original". So, let's say I start with this:
