Dmitry Torokhov dcd5e4574a fix(mouse): do not fetch clipboard twice when pasting with middle button #33494
Problem:
When doing paste operation mouse code tries to figure out it it is
dealing with a multi-line register by calling yank_register_mline(),
which fetches register data and checks its type. Later the code calls
either do_put() or insert_reg() which fetch register data again. This is
unnoticeable when working with internal neovim registers, but starts
hurting when dealing with clipboards, especially remote one (forwarded X
or socket tunnel or similar).

Solution:
Change yank_register_mline() to also return pointer to the
register structure prepared for pasting, and insert_reg() to accept
such register pointer and use it if it is supplied. do_put() already
has support for accepting a register structure to be used for pasting.

Fixes #33493

Neovim is a project that seeks to aggressively refactor Vim in order to:

See the Introduction wiki page and Roadmap for more information.

Features

See :help nvim-features for the full list, and :help news for noteworthy changes in the latest version!

Install from package

Pre-built packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux are found on the Releases page.

Managed packages are in Homebrew, Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Void Linux, Gentoo, and more!

Install from source

See BUILD.md and supported platforms for details.

The build is CMake-based, but a Makefile is provided as a convenience. After installing the dependencies, run the following command.

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
sudo make install

To install to a non-default location:

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/full/path/
make install

CMake hints for inspecting the build:

  • cmake --build build --target help lists all build targets.
  • build/CMakeCache.txt (or cmake -LAH build/) contains the resolved values of all CMake variables.
  • build/compile_commands.json shows the full compiler invocations for each translation unit.

Transitioning from Vim

See :help nvim-from-vim for instructions.
