Yank from a remote vim into OSX's local copy buffer

.vimrc

map <Leader>y :echo system('echo -n '.shellescape(@").' \| npaste')<CR>

README.md

• Run ncopy on your local machine, perhaps in a screen so it doesn't die
• Put npaste into your path on the remote machine
• Drop the shortcut into your .vimrc
• When you SSH, add a reverse tunnel: ssh <host> -R 12888:localhost:12888
• Yank and paste like a madman

ncopy.bash

#!/bin/bash
while sleep .01; do nc -l 12888 | pbcopy; done

npaste.bash

#!/bin/bash
cat - |
sed 's/^\s*//' | # Leading whitespace
sed 's/\s*$//' | # Trailing whitespace
sed 's/\\$//'  | # Escaped newline
nc localhost 12888
