How to copy command string in the ex mode into clipboard?
Solution
You can turn the command-line mode into a full Vim buffer named the command-line window by pressing <C-f> after entering in command-line mode with :, or enter into it directly via q:. There, you can yank as usual; e.g. via "+yy or :yank +<CR>. (This is also great for other complex edits!)
The last command-line is in register :; :let @+ = @:<CR> will copy that to the clipboard.
The least Vim-like approach would be selecting with the mouse; on Linux, the text is then in the X primary selection; on Windows, you can then use Edit > Copy to put it in the clipboard.
