Here are two mappings that help copy SQL queries from gvim to other applications running under Windows.
"Select all of current paragraph. :map <C-S-v> (V) "Copy all of current paragraph to clipboard. :map <C-S-v> (V)*y''
TO DO
Fix above:
- The
(and)move by a sentence, not a paragraph. - Tip should use
vipto select a paragraph. - Fix the key used for the mapping.
Comments
Edit
You can select a paragraph by typing vip or vap
See :help v_ip (vip = visual inner paragraph).
In general, use :help v_<whatever> for help on <whatever> in visual mode.
Or :help c_<whatever> for the command line, or :help i_<whatever> for insert mode.
