About:
ZshSystemClipboard provides seamless vi-mode bindings for system clipboard operations in Zsh. It enables yanking and putting text using standard vi commands while automatically syncing with the OS clipboard. The plugin supports multiple clipboard managers and terminals out of the box.
Key Features:
  • Vi-mode bindings for copy/paste operations
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, macOS, Windows/WSL)
  • Automatic detection of available clipboard tools
  • Zero dependency core with optional enhancements
Use Cases:
  • Vi-mode users needing seamless OS clipboard integration
  • Developers copying code between terminal and GUI applications
  • Power users managing text across multiple terminal sessions
Alternatives:
  • zsh-clipboard – Simpler implementation with fewer clipboard manager options
  • tmux clipboard integration – Requires tmux session management, not Zsh-specific
