cinch.vim

cinch.vim integrates the Cinch CLI into Vim and Neovim so yanked text is pushed to your relay automatically, and you can pull the latest clip without leaving the editor.

Requirements

• Vim 8.0+ or Neovim 0.5+
• cinch CLI installed and authenticated — see the Quick Start guide

Installation

lazy.nvim

{ "cinchcli/cinch.vim" }

vim-plug

Plug 'cinchcli/cinch.vim'

Usage

Auto-push on yank

With the default configuration, any yank operation pushes the yanked text to your relay:

Key / motion	Effect
yy	Yank line → auto-push
yw	Yank word → auto-push
y$	Yank to end of line → auto-push
any y{motion}	Yank → auto-push

Commands

Command	Description
:CinchPull	Pull the latest clip and insert it at the cursor
:CinchPush	Manually push the current register to the relay
:CinchToggle	Toggle auto-push on or off for the current session

Configuration

All options have sensible defaults. Set them in your config before the plugin loads.

Vim (~/.vimrc)

" Disable auto-push on yank (enable manually with :CinchPush or :CinchToggle)
let g:cinch_auto_push = 0

" Register to push/pull (default: unnamed register)
let g:cinch_push_register = '"'

" Path to the cinch binary if it is not on $PATH
let g:cinch_binary = '/usr/local/bin/cinch'

Neovim (~/.config/nvim/init.lua)

vim.g.cinch_auto_push = 0
vim.g.cinch_push_register = '"'
vim.g.cinch_binary = '/usr/local/bin/cinch'
