## This uses the PastieClient from #528. I've put this in ~/lib/pastie_client.rb which you will see in the Vim code below. Change that require location if you put it somewhere else. ## This is the Vim code, I have ruby compiled in, if you don't - do, it's very neat. If you can't (or won't) then you'll need to write your own macro in Vim to shell-out to the cmdline version, and you'll definitely need xclip or something to read from the copy buffer. This works by Visually highlighting what you want to paste, and hitting p^P, change that binding to whatever you like. If you have xclip installed, then this will use that to put the URL into the select buffer: function! PastiePaste(vmode) silent exe "normal! `<". a:vmode. "`>\"ry" ruby << EOF require '~/lib/pastie_client' buffer = VIM::evaluate("@r") syntax = VIM::evaluate("&filetype") p = PastieClient.new id = p.paste(buffer,syntax) url = "http://pastie.caboo.se/paste/#{id}" if system("which xclip >/dev/null 2>&1") system("echo '#{url}' | xclip -i") end puts "Done: #{url}" EOF endfunction :vnoremap p<C-P> :<C-U>call PastiePaste(visualmode())<CR> ## And here's the cmdline version. You can pass it "clipboard" if you want it to use the X clipboard instead of the primary select buffer: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require '~/lib/pastie_client' p=PastieClient.new buffer = ARGV[0] || "primary" id=p.paste(`xclip -o -selected #{buffer}`) url = "http://pastie.caboo.se/paste/#{id}" system("echo '#{url}' | xclip -i -selected #{buffer}") puts url

This paste will be private.
