osx - Copy lines to os x clipboard from vim on remote console -

i'm using heroku, , i've logged gotten access bash using heroku run bash. found out possible install vim on heroku shell script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash curl https://s3.amazonaws.com/heroku-jvm-buildpack-vi/vim-7.3.tar.gz --output vim.tar.gz mkdir vim && tar xzvf vim.tar.gz -c vim export path=$path:/app/vim/bin 

i wanting take text yank vim on heroku , paste other editors.

to clear, trying fix: yank text in file vim buffer (using yg instance,) want use i've yanked pasting application sublime text i'm running locally. i've tried "*yg. didn't work either.

i have vague idea why isn't working (the buffer i'm copying accessible on server,) isn't there someway besides selecting using terminal?

yes, idea right: because vim runs on machine has no access local clipboard or local command pbcopy or pbpaste. also, because use mac os x , (i assume) iterm.app or terminal.app, "x forwarding" of no here (you don't use x).

so, have 2 options:

• select want copy mouse , use terminal emulator/system's "copy" feature.

• set complicated system use remote command scp yanked text local machine it's piped pbcopy. i've seen things in past.

but, why don't editing remotely? or use vcs?
