Yank or Copy content of doHover

[dorukozerr]

Hello everyone, I'm new to Vim and its plugins.

I configured coc and it's working great. One thing I couldn't find how to do is I can't copy or yank the content of coc doHover action. For example, I'm working on a TS project, and let's say I want to copy the type definition of a variable. But I can't do it. I don't want to set mouse=a and do it with mouse. Can anyone help me pretty please :) I searched about this but couldn't find anything. I found 1 GitHub post about this but it doesn't work.

Thank you so much for your attention and participation.

You can use Ctrl-ww to move your cursor to the floating window, to copy the content.

Thanks for the reply but it doesn't work, I can't move the cursor to the floating window with ctrl-ww.

I forgot that C-ww only works on nvim. Vim doesn't have a way to jump into the floating window.

Maybe I should switch to nvim from vim. I wanted to learn the default basics before jumping into it. Thanks for replys.

tsc filename.ts --declaration --emitDeclarationOnly

This generates what I need, and I am posting this for a solution. Stack overflow solution

You can create a function to copy popup content, like:

  function! CopyPopupBufferToClipboard()
    let buffers = getbufinfo({'bufloaded': 1, 'buftype': 'nofile'})
    for buf in buffers
      if has_key(buf, 'popups') && len(buf.popups) > 0
        let lines = getbufline(buf['bufnr'], 1, '$')
        call setreg('*', lines)
        echo "已将 popup 窗口的内容复制到系统剪贴板。"
        return
      endif
    endfor
    echo "未找到任何 popup 窗口。"
  endfunction

Chekcout :h getbufinfo() for support of popups
