additionally, with some plugins like better-whitespace, Safari's search string will be last search to clear whitespaces. |

Can confirm this happens. Will look into it. |

MMShareFindPboard is supposed to prevent MacVim from updating the system find pasteboard when searching, but the previous behavior was that it would only set the Vim-specific format to the find pasteboard so you could still share search patterns across Vim windows but it has the effect of clearing the global find pasteboard. Just fix that by making MacVim not touch the system find pasteboard at all when MMShareFindPboard is set to NO to respect user's wish. Cmd-G will still use the system find pasteboard to make it easy to search in another macOS program and jump to Vim. The user can always use `n` instead if that's not desired. Also update docs to make this clear, and rename all "OS X" to "macOS" to keep up with the times. Close macvim-dev#773

Just opened a pull request (#780) to fix this. Will merge that in shortly. I have decided to make Cmd-E and Cmd-G in MacVim still respect the system pasteboard even with |

I have
MMShareFindPboardset tofalseso that MacVim's search string doesn't interfere with that of other Cocoa apps. (There's nothing worse than e.g., hitting Cmd-F in Safari only to find the little search box pre-populated with something like\(foo\|bar\)\+.)I've noticed however that MacVim will clear another app's search string.
Reproduce: Open Safari, go to some webpage, and search (Cmd-F) for some string that is present on the page. Maybe hit Cmd-G to go to the next instance. Do not close the "find bar" in Safari. Then Cmd-Tab to an open MacVim document (or just open one afresh) and hit
/; enter a search string and hit . Then Cmd-Tab back to Safari and observe that, while the find bar is still open and occurrences of your search string are still highlighted, your search string is gone, and Cmd-G no longer works because it doesn't know what string it should be looking for the next occurrence of.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
